On self-similar solutions of time and space fractional sub-diffusion equations

Abstract

In this paper, we have considered two different sub-diffusion equations involving Hilfer, hyper-Bessel and Erdelyi-Kober fractional derivatives. Using a special transformation, we equivalently reduce the considered boundary value problems for fractional partial differential equation to the corresponding problem for ordinary differential equation. An essential role is played by certain properties of Erd\'elyi-Kober integral and differential operators. We have applied also successive iteration method to obtain self-similar solutions in an explicit form. The obtained self-similar solutions are represented by generalized Wright type function. We have to note that the usage of imposed conditions is important to present self-similar solutions via given data.

Existence results of self-similar solutions of the space-fractional diffusion equation involving the generalized Riesz-Caputo fractional derivative

“…Across the literature, one may easily be aware of the existence of plenty of research works on fractional (space, time and space-time) diffusion equations by using the similarity method. For more details, the reader may check [10,17,28].…”
