AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">A finite difference method for a class of time-space fractional diffusion equations
is considered. The trapezoidal formula and a fourth-order fractional compact difference
scheme are, respectively, used in temporal and spatial discretisations and the
method stability is studied. Theoretical estimates of the convergence in the $L_2$ -norm
are shown to be $\mathscr{O}(τ^2+h^4)$, where $τ$ and $h$ are time and space mesh sizes. Numerical
examples confirm theoretical results.</p>
