Abstract
This paper considers a fully discrete approximation of a fractional/normal diffusion equation with rough Dirichlet boundary data. The approximation uses the standard continuous piecewise linear element in space, and uses the L1 scheme in time. Nearly \( \alpha /4 \)-order temporal accuracy and nearly 1/2-order spatial accuracy are derived, where the spatial mesh size h and the time step \( \tau \) are independent. Numerical results are provided to confirm the theoretical results.
