A generalization of the linear fractional integral equation u(t) = u0 + ∂−αAu(t), 1 < α < 2, which is written as a Volterra matrix–valued equation when applied as a pixel–by–pixel technique, has been proposed for image denoising (restoration, smoothing,...). Since the fractional integral equation interpolates a linear parabolic equation and a hyperbolic equation, the solution enjoys intermediat...

In recent years increasing interests and considerable researches have been given to the fractional differential equations both in time and space variables. These are due to the applications of the fractional differential operators to problems in a wide areas of physics and engineering science and a rapid development of the corresponding theory. Motivating examples include the so-called continuo...

We propose diffusion-like equations with time and space fractional derivatives of the distributed order for the kinetic description of anomalous diffusion and relaxation phenomena, whose diffusion exponent varies with time and which, correspondingly, can not be viewed as self-affine random processes possessing a unique Hurst exponent. We prove the positivity of the solutions of the proposed equ...

We consider the space fractional advection-dispersion equation, which is obtained from the classical advection-diffusion equation by replacing the spatial derivatives with a generalised derivative of fractional order. We derive a finite volume method that utilises fractionally-shifted Grünwald formulas for the discretisation of the fractional derivative, to numerically solve the equation on a f...

Subdiffusion in the presence of an external force field can be described in phase space by the fractional Klein-Kramers equation. In this paper, we explore the stochastic structure of this equation. Using a subordination method, we define a random process whose probability density function is a solution of the fractional Klein-Kramers equation. The structure of the introduced process agrees wit...

A class of finite difference schemes for solving a fractional anti-diffusive equation, recently proposed by Andrew C. Fowler to describe the dynamics of dunes, is considered. Their linear stability is analyzed using the standard Von Neumann analysis: stability criteria are found and checked numerically. Moreover, we investigate the consistency and convergence of these schemes.

We formulate and solve a physically-based, phase space kinetic equation for transport in the presence of trapping. Trapping is incorporated through a waiting time distribution function. From the phase-space analysis, we obtain a generalized diffusion equation in configuration space. We analyse the impact of the waiting time distribution, and give examples that lead to dispersive or nondispersiv...
