Numerical approximation of distributed order reaction-diffusion equations

In this paper an implicit scheme for the numerical approximation of the distributed order time-fractional reaction-diffusion equation with a nonlinear source term is presented. The stability and the convergence order of the numerical scheme are analysed and illustrated through some numerical examples.
