چکیده

We revisit the Cauchy problem for the time-fractional diffusion equation, which is obtained from the standard diffusion equation by replacing the first-order time derivative with a fractional derivative of order b 2 ð0; 2 . By using the Fourier–Laplace transforms the fundamentals solutions (Green functions) are shown to be high transcendental functions of the Wright-type that can be interpreted as spatial probability density functions evolving in time with similarity properties. We provide a general representation of these functions in terms of Mellin–Barnes integrals useful for numerical computation. 2002 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.

Finite integration method with RBFs for solving time-fractional convection-diffusion equation with variable coefficients

In this paper, a modification of finite integration method (FIM) is combined with the radial basis function (RBF) method to solve a time-fractional convection-diffusion equation with variable coefficients. The FIM transforms partial differential equations into integral equations and this creates some constants of integration. Unlike the usual FIM, the proposed method computes constants of integ...

Nonlinear Cable equation, Fractional differential equation, Radial point interpolation method, Meshless local Petrov – Galerkin, Stability analysis

The cable equation is one the most fundamental mathematical models in the neuroscience, which describes the electro-diffusion of ions in denderits. New findings indicate that the standard cable equation is inadequate for describing the process of electro-diffusion of ions. So, recently, the cable model has been modified based on the theory of fractional calculus. In this paper, the two dimensio...

A new fractional sub-equation method for solving the space-time fractional differential equations in mathematical physics

In this paper, a new fractional sub-equation method is proposed for finding exact solutions of fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs) in the sense of modified Riemann-Liouville derivative. With the aid of symbolic computation, we choose the space-time fractional Zakharov-Kuznetsov-Benjamin-Bona-Mahony (ZKBBM) equation in mathematical physics with a source to illustrate the validity a...

A New Implicit Finite Difference Method for Solving Time Fractional Diffusion Equation

In this paper, a time fractional diffusion equation on a finite domain is con- sidered. The time fractional diffusion equation is obtained from the standard diffusion equation by replacing the first order time derivative by a fractional derivative of order 0 < a< 1 (in the Riemann-Liovill or Caputo sence). In equation that we consider the time fractional derivative is in...

The role of the Fox-Wright functions in fractional sub-diffusion of distributed order

The fundamental solution of the fractional diffusion equation of distributed order in time (usually adopted for modelling sub-diffusion processes) is obtained based on its Mellin-Barnes integral representation. Such solution is proved to be related via a Laplace-type integral to the Fox-Wright functions. A series expansion is also provided in order to point out the distribution of time-scales r...
