Lie symmetries reduction and spectral methods on the fractional two-dimensional heat equation
In this paper, the Lie symmetry analysis is proposed for a space-time convection-diffusion fractional differential equations with the Riemann-Liouville derivative by (2+1) independent variables and one dependent variable. We find a reduction form of our governed fractional differential equation using the similarity solution of our Lie symmetry. One-dimensional optimal system of Lie symmetry algebras is found. We present a computational method via the spectral method based on Bernstein's operational matrices to solve the two-dimensional fractional heat equation with some initial conditions.
