Abstract
A weak Galerkin finite element/backward Euler scheme for the parabolic integro-differential equation with weakly singular kernel is considered. The stability and optimal convergence order estimate of the weak Galerkin finite element scheme in \(L^2\) norm are derived. Numerical experiment verifies our theory finding.
