Introduction: Recently, a new family of fractional derivatives called the piecewise fractional derivatives has been introduced, arguing that for some problems, each of the classical fractional derivatives may not be able to provide an accurate statement of the consideration problem alone. In defining this kind of derivatives, several types of fractional derivatives can be used simultaneously. Objectives: This study introduces a new kind of piecewise fractional derivative by employing the Caputo type distributed-order fractional derivative and ABC fractional derivative. The one- and two-dimensional piecewise fractional Galilei invariant advection–diffusion equations are defined using this piecewise fractional derivative. Methods: A new class of basis functions called the orthonormal piecewise Vieta-Lucas (VL) functions are defined. Fractional derivatives of these functions in the Caputo and ABC senses are computed. These functions are utilized to construct two numerical methods for solving the introduced problems under non-local boundary conditions. The proposed methods convert solving the original problems into solving systems of algebraic equations. Results: The accuracy and convergence order of the proposed methods are examined by solving several examples. The obtained results are investigated, numerically. Conclusion: This study introduces a kind of piecewise fractional derivative. This derivative is employed to define the one- and two-dimensional piecewise fractional Galilei invariant advection–diffusion equations. Two numerical methods based on the orthonormal VL polynomials and orthonormal piecewise VL functions are established for these problems. The numerical results obtained from solving several examples confirm the high accuracy of the proposed methods.
