Abstract: The block lower triangular Toeplitz system arising from time-space fractional diffusion equations (TSFDEs) is discussed. For the purpose of fast and economically solving the system, the preconditioned BiCGSTAB and FGMRES methods are used. The main contribution of this paper has two aspects: (i)A block bi-diagonal Toeplitz preconditioner is developed for the block lower triangular Toeplitz system, whose storage is of O(N) withNbeing the spatial grid number; (ii)A new skew-circulant preconditioner is designed to fast calculate the inverse of the block bi-diagonal Toeplitz preconditioner multiplying a vector. Numerical experiments are given to demonstrate the efficiency of our preconditioners
