contents We make a complete variational treatment of rank-one Proper Generalised Decomposition for separable fractional partial differential equations with conformable derivatives. The setting is Hilbertian, the energy is induced by a symmetric coercive bilinear form, and the residual is placed in the dual space. A greedy rank-one update is obtained by maximizing an energy Rayleigh quotient over the rank-one manifold, followed by an exact line search. An exact one step energy decrease identity is proved, together with geometric decay of the energy error under a weak greedy condition that measures how well the search captures the Riesz representer of the residual. The alternating least squares realization is analyzed at the level of operators, including well posedness of the alternating subproblems, a characterization of stationary points, and monotonicity of the Rayleigh quotient along the inner iteration. Discretizations based on weighted finite elements and on Grünwald type schemes are described in detail, including assembly, boundary conditions, complexity, and memory. Two model problems, a stationary fractional Poisson problem and a space time fractional diffusion problem, are treated from the continuous level down to matrices.
