  • In this paper, we propose a two-grid algorithm for nonlinear time fractional parabolic equations by $ H^1 $-Galerkin mixed finite element discreitzation. First, we use linear finite elements and Raviart-Thomas mixed finite elements for spatial discretization, and $ L1 $ scheme on graded mesh for temporal discretization to construct a fully discrete approximation scheme. Second, we derive the stability and error estimates of the discrete scheme. Third, we present a two-grid method to linearize the nonlinear system and discuss its stability and convergence. Finally, we confirm our theoretical results by some numerical examples.
