Time-fractional initial-boundary problems of parabolic type are considered. Previously, global error bounds for computed numerical solutions to such problems have been provided by Liao et al. (SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 2018, 2019) and Stynes et al. (SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 2017). In the present work we show how the concept of complete monotonicity can be combined with these older analyses to derive local error bounds (i.e., error bounds that are sharper than global bounds when one is not close to the initial timet=0{t=0}). Furthermore, we show that the error analyses of the above papers are essentially the same – their key stability parameters, which seem superficially different from each other, become identical after a simple rescaling. Our new approach is used to bound the global and local errors in the numerical solution of a multi-term time-fractional diffusion equation, using the L1 scheme for the temporal discretisation of each fractional derivative. These error bounds are α-robust. Numerical results show they are sharp.
