Fractional generalization of the diffusion equation includes fractional derivatives with respect to time and coordinate. It had been introduced to describe anomalous kinetics of simple dynamical systems with chaotic motion. We consider a symmetrized fractional diffusion equation with a source and find different asymptotic solutions applying a method which is similar to the method of separation of variables. The method has a clear physical interpretation presenting the solution in a form of decomposition of the process of fractal Brownian motion and Levy-type process. Fractional generalization of the Kolmogorov-Feller equation is introduced and its solutions are analyzed. (c) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
