Cover Story: A new dissipation-preserving scheme is introduced to solve a Caputo–Riesz time–space-fractional nonlinear wave equation with sine Gordon on site potential, for homogeneous Dirichlet data on the boundary of a hyper cube. We prove that our equation obeys a conservation law and propose a finite-difference scheme to approximate the solutions of the continuous model. We establish theoretically the existence and uniqueness of the solutions and prove the consistency, stability, and convergence of our numerical scheme. We carry out a number of simulations to verify the validity of our theoretical results for time and space derivatives of order α = β = 2 and then show that fractional cases with 1 < α, β < 2 exhibit novel types of physical behavior.
