The tempered fractional diffusion equation is a generalization of the standard fractional diffusion equation that includes the truncation effects inherent to finite-size physical domains. As such, that equation better describes anomalous transport processes occurring in realistic complex systems. To broaden the range of applicability of tempered fractional diffusion models, efficient numerical methods are needed to solve the model equation. In this work, we have developed a pseudospectral scheme to discretize the space-time fractional diffusion equation with exponential tempering in both space and time. The model solution is expanded in both space and time in terms of Chebyshev polynomials and the …
