This method combines conformable derivative, finite difference, and non-polynomial spline techniques to solve the nonlinear inhomogeneous time-fractional Burgers\u2013Huxley equation. The developed numerical scheme is characterized by a sixth-order convergence and conditional stability. The accuracy of the method is demonstrated with 3D mesh plots, while the effects of time and fractional order are shown in 2D plots. Comparative evaluations with the cubic B-spline collocation method are provided. To illustrate the suitability and effectiveness of the proposed method, two examples are tested, with the results are evaluated using L2 and L\u221e norms.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/axioms13080551","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,13]],"date-time":"2024-08-13T13:35:49Z","timestamp":1723556149000},"page":"551","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Advanced Methods for Conformable Time-Fractional Differential Equations: Logarithmic Non-Polynomial Splines"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0206-3828","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Majeed A.","family":"Yousif","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, College of Education, University of Zakho, Duhok 42001, Iraq"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0634-2370","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ravi P.","family":"Agarwal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics and Systems Engineering, Florida Institute of Technology, Melbourne, FL 32901, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6837-8075","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pshtiwan Othman","family":"Mohammed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, College of Education, University of Sulaimani, Sulaimani 46001, Iraq"},{"name":"Research and Development Center, University of Sulaimani, Sulaymaniyah 46001, Iraq"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2855-7535","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alina Alb","family":"Lupas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Oradea, 410087 Oradea, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9709-7045","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rashid","family":"Jan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Energy Infrastructure (IEI), Department of Civil Engineering, College of Engineering, Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN), Putrajaya Campus, Jalan IKRAM-UNITEN, Kajang 43000, Malaysia"},{"name":"Mathematics Research Center, Near East University TRNC, Mersin 10, Nicosia 99138, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8833-6585","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nejmeddine","family":"Chorfi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, College of Science, King Saud University, P.O.
