Abstract: We investigate the error of the (semidiscrete) Galerkin method applied to a semilinear subdiffusion equation in the presence of a nonsmooth initial data. The diffusion coefficient is allowed to depend on time. It is well-known that in such parabolic problems the spatial error increases when time decreases. The rate of this time-dependency is a function of the fractional parameter and the regularity of the initial condition. We use the energy method to find optimal bounds on the error under weak and natural assumptions on the diffusivity. First, we prove the result for the linear problem and then use the "frozen nonlinearity" technique coupled with various generalizations of Gronwall inequality to carry the result to the semilinear case. The paper ends with numerical illustrations supporting the theoretical results.
