Analysis of a discrete non-Markovian random walk approximation for the time fractional diffusion equation

چکیده
The time fractional diffusion equation (TFDE) is obtained from the standard diffusion equation by replacing the first-order time derivative with a fractional derivative of order α ∈ (0, 1). In this work, an explicit finite-difference scheme for TFDE is presented. Discrete models of a non-Markovian random walk are generate for simulating random variables whose spatial probability density evolves in time according to this fractional diffusion equation. We derive the scaling restriction of the stability and convergence of the discrete non-Markovian random walk approximation for TFDE in a bounded domain. Finally, some numerical examples are presented to show the application of the present technique.

Continuous time random walk and parametric subordination in fractional diffusion
The well-scaled transition to the diffusion limit in the framework of the theory of continuous-time random walk (CTRW) is presented starting from its representation as an infinite series that points out the subordinated character of the CTRW itself. We treat the CTRW as a combination of a random walk on the axis of physical time with a random walk in space, both walks happening in discrete oper...

Fractional order diffusion equations are generalizations of classical diffusion equations which are used to model in physics, finance, engineering, etc. In this paper we present an implicit difference approximation by using the alternating directions implicit (ADI) approach to solve the two-dimensional space-time fractional diffusion equation (2DSTFDE) on a finite domain. Consistency, unconditi...

متن کاملRetarding Sub- and Accelerating Super-diffusion Governed by Distributed Order Fractional Diffusion Equations
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...
