contents Time-fractional semilinear and quasilinear parabolic equations with a Caputo time derivative of order $α\in(0,1)$ are considered, solutions of which exhibit a singular behaviour at an initial time of type $t^σ$ for any fixed $σ\in (0,1) \cup (1,2)$. The L1 scheme in time is combined with a general class of discretizations for the semilinear term. For such discretizations, we obtain sharp pointwise-in-time error bounds on graded temporal meshes with arbitrary degree of grading. Both semi-discretizations in time and full discretizations using finite differences and finite elements in space are addressed. The theoretcal findings are illustrated by numerical experiments.
