Abstract: Stability and optimal convergence analysis of a non-uniform implicit-explicit L1 finite element method (IMEX-L1-FEM) is studied for a class of time-fractional linear partial differential/integro-differential equations with non-self-adjoint elliptic part having (space-time) variable coefficients. The proposed scheme is based on a combination of an IMEX-L1 method on graded mesh in the temporal direction and a finite element method in the spatial direction. With the help of a discrete fractional Gr"{o}nwall inequality, optimal error estimates in $L^2$- and $H^1$-norms are derived for the problem with initial data $u_{0}in{H}_0^1(Omega)cap{H}^2(Omega)$. Under higher regularity condition $u_{0}indot{H}^3(Omega)$, a super convergence result is established and as a consequence, $L^{i}nfty$ error estimate is obtained for 2D problems. Numerical experiments are presented to validate our theoretical findings.
