A fractional diffusion equation based on Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives is solved exactly. The initial values are given as fractional integrals. The solution is obtained in terms of H-functions. It differs from the known solution of fractional diffusion equations based on fractional integrals. The solution of fractional diffusion based on a Riemann-Liouville fractional time derivative...

In this paper, a mixed matrix transform method with fractional centered difference scheme for solving diffusion equation Riesz derivative was examined. It obtained that the numerical unconditionally stable and feasible using analysis method. Numerical experiments were, then, carried out to support theoretical predictions.

This paper deals with numerical solution to the multi-term time fractional diffusion equation in a finite domain. An implicit finite difference scheme is established based on Caputo’s definition to the fractional derivatives, and the upper and lower bounds to the spectral radius of the coefficient matrix of the difference scheme are estimated, with which the unconditional stability and converge...

The electrical response of an electrolytic cell in which the diffusion of mobile ions in the bulk is governed by a fractional diffusion equation of distributed order is analyzed. The boundary conditions at the electrodes limiting the sample are described by an integro-differential equation governing the kinetic at the interface. The analysis is carried out by supposing that the positive and neg...

We study a linear-quadratic optimal control problem involving a parabolic equation with fractional diffusion and Caputo fractional time derivative of orders s ∈ (0, 1) and γ ∈ (0, 1], respectively. The spatial fractional diffusion is realized as the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for a nonuniformly elliptic operator. Thus, we consider an equivalent formulation with a quasi-stationary elliptic problem...

Abstract. In this paper, we first consider the numerical method that Lin and Xu proposed and analyzed in [Finite difference/spectral approximations for the time-fractional diffusion equation, JCP 2007] for the time-fractional diffusion equation. It is a method basing on the combination of a finite different scheme in time and spectral method in space. The numerical analysis carried out in that ...
