| Summary: | Higher-order symmetries are constructed for a linear anomalous diffusion equation with the Riemann–Liouville time-fractional derivative of order <inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>α</mi><mo>∈</mo><mo>(</mo><mn>0</mn><mo>,</mo><mn>1</mn><mo>)</mo><mo>∪</mo><mo>(</mo><mn>1</mn><mo>,</mo><mn>2</mn><mo>)</mo></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>. It is proved that the equation in question has infinite sequences of nontrivial higher-order symmetries that are generated by two local recursion operators. It is also shown that some of the obtained higher-order symmetries can be rewritten as fractional-order symmetries, and corresponding fractional-order recursion operators are presented. The proposed approach for finding higher-order symmetries is applicable for a wide class of linear fractional differential equations.
