Abstract: In this paper, an efficient numerical method is proposed to solve the Caputo-Riesz fractional diffusion equation with fractional Robin boundary conditions. We approximate the Riesz space fractional derivatives using the fractional central difference scheme with second-order accurate. A priori estimation of the solution of the numerical scheme is given, and the stability and convergence of the numerical scheme are analyzed. Finally, a numerical example is used to verify the accuracy and efficiency of the numerical method.
