Abstract
In this article, a fully discrete scheme for one-dimensional (1D) time-fractional nonlinear integro-differential equation is established based on the weak Galerkin finite-element method. The stability and convergence of this scheme are proved. Several numerical experiments are presented to illustrate the theoretical analysis and to show the strong potential of this method.
