چکیده

The partial differential equation of Gaussian diffusion is generalized by using the time-fractional derivative of distributed order between 0 and 1, in both the Riemann-Liouville (R-L) and the Caputo (C) sense. For a general distribution of time orders we provide the fundamental solution, that is still a probability density, in terms of an integral of Laplace type. The kernel depends on the type of the assumed fractional derivative except for the single order case where the two approaches turn to be equivalent. We consider with some detail two cases of order distribution: the double-order and the uniformly distributed order. For these cases we exhibit plots of the corresponding fundamental solutions and their variance, pointing out the remarkable difference between the two approaches for small and large times.

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...

Local discontinuous Galerkin method for distributed-order time and space-fractional convection-diffusion and Schrödinger type equations

Fractional partial differential equations with distributed-order fractional derivatives describe some important physical phenomena. In this paper, we propose a local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) method for the distributedorder time and Riesz space fractional convection-diffusion and Schrödinger type equations. We prove stability and optimal order of convergence O(h + (∆t) θ 2 + θ) for the distr...

Distributed-order diffusion equations and multifractality: Models and solutions.

We study distributed-order time fractional diffusion equations characterized by multifractal memory kernels, in contrast to the simple power-law kernel of common time fractional diffusion equations. Based on the physical approach to anomalous diffusion provided by the seminal Scher-Montroll-Weiss continuous time random walk, we analyze both natural and modified-form distributed-order time fract...
