Abstract: In this study, we explore the numerical solutions of two nonlocal fractional problems using the finite element method (FEM). Many previous studies addressing elliptic problems have considered the simple form of the second member, where $f=1$. However, in our current paper, we explore different formulas for $f$. In the case of the second parabolic problem, we utilize the matrices computed in the first problem to derive an ordinary differential equation.In order to calculate the exponential matrix in the analytical solution of the ordinary differential equation, we utilize the $(2,2)$ Pade approximation. These methods are applied to three numerical examples to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed technique. Our findings suggest that this approach is highly effective and efficient.

Key words: finite element method (FEM), nonlocal elliptic equations, nonlocal parabolic equations, $(2,2)$ Pade approximation.
