The time-fractional diffusion-wave equation is considered in a half-plane. The Caputo fractional derivative of the order 0 < α < 2 is used. Several examples of problems with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions are solved using the Laplace integral transform with respect to time and the Fourier transforms with respect to spatial coordinates. The solution is written in terms of the Mittag-L...

In this paper we reconsider the classical nonlinear diffusivity equation of real gas in an heterogenous porous medium in light of the recent studies about the generalized fractional equation of conservation of mass. We first recall the physical meaning of the fractional conservation of mass recently studied by Wheatcraft and Meerschaert [22] and then consider the implications in the classical m...

and Applied Analysis 3 3. Numerical Solution Environmental phenomena, such as groundwater flow described by variational order derivative, are highly complex phenomena, which do not lend themselves readily to analysis of analytical models. The discussion presented in this section will therefore be devoted to the derivation of numerical solution to the modified Hantush equation (6). Solving diffi...

We investigate the soliton dynamics for the fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation by a suitable modulational inequality. In the semiclassical limit, the solution concentrates along a trajectory determined by a Newtonian equation depending of the fractional diffusion parameter.

In recent years, fractional differential equations are widely used in the many academic disciplines--viscoelastic mechanics, Fractal theory and so on. Furthermore, fractional differential equations can be used to describe some abnormal phenomenon. For instance, fractional convection-diffusion equation can be used to describe the fluid of abnormal infiltration phenomenon in the medium. In this p...
