Multi-term time-fractional partial differential equations (PDEs) have become a hot topic in the field of mathematical physics and are used to improve the modeling accuracy in the description of anomalous diffusion processes compared to the single-term PDE results. This research includes the numerical solutions of two-term time-fractional PDE models using an efficient and accurate local meshless method. Due to the advantages of the meshless nature and ease of applicability in higher dimensions, the demand for meshless techniques is increasing. This approach approximates the solution on a uniform or scattered set of nodes, resulting in well-conditioned and sparse coefficient matrices. Numerical tests are performed to demonstrate the efficacy and accuracy of the proposed local meshless technique.
