Abstract: We formulate a numerical method to solve the porous medium type equation with fractional diffusion [ frac{partial u}{partial t}+(-Delta)^{sigma/2} (u^m)=0 ] posed for $xinmathbb{R}^N$, $t>0$, with $mgeq1$, $sigmain(0,2)$, and nonnegative initial data $u(x,0)$. We prove existence and uniqueness of the solution of the numerical method and also the convergence to the theoretical solution of the equation with an order depending on $sigma$. We also propose a two points approximation to a $sigma$-derivative with order $O(h^{2-sigma})$.
