On the Initial-Boundary-Value Problem for the Time-Fractional Diffusion Equation on the Real Positive Semiaxis

Abstract EN

We consider the time-fractional derivative in the Caputo sense of order α ∈ ( 0 , 1 ) .

Taking into account the asymptotic behavior and the existence of bounds for the Mainardi and the Wright function in R + , two different initial-boundary-value problems for the time-fractional diffusion equation on the real positive semiaxis are solved.

Moreover, the limit when α ↗ 1 of the respective solutions is analyzed, recovering the solutions of the classical boundary-value problems when α = 1, and the fractional diffusion equation becomes the heat equation.
