The Shape of Expansion Induced by a Line with Fast Diffusion in Fisher-KPP Equations

We establish a new property of Fisher-KPP type propagation in a plane, in the presence of a line with fast diffusion. We prove that the line enhances the asymptotic speed of propagation in a cone of directions. Past the critical angle given by this cone, the asymptotic speed of propagation coincides with the classical Fisher-KPP invasion speed. Several qualitative properties are further derived, such as the limiting behaviour when the diffusion on the line goes to infinity.     

Fractional Number Operator and Associated Fractional Diffusion Equations

In this paper, we study the fractional number operator as an analog of the finite-dimensional fractional Laplacian. An important relation with the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process is given. Using a semigroup approach, the solution of the Cauchy problem associated to the fractional number operator is presented. By means of the Mittag-Leffler function and the Laplace transform, we give the solution of the Caputo time fractional diffusion equation and Riemann-Liouville time fractional diffusion equation in infinite dimensions associated to the fractional number operator.

Heterogeneous Diffusion and Nonlinear Advection in a One-Dimensional Fisher-KPP Problem

The goal of this study is to provide an analysis of a Fisher-KPP non-linear reaction problem with a higher-order diffusion and a non-linear advection. We study the existence and uniqueness of solutions together with asymptotic solutions and positivity conditions. We show the existence of instabilities based on a shooting method approach. Afterwards, we study the existence and uniqueness of solutions as an abstract evolution of a bounded continuous single parametric (t) semigroup. Asymptotic solutions based on a Hamilton–Jacobi equation are then analyzed. Finally, the conditions required to ensure a comparison principle are explored supported by the existence of a positive maximal kernel.     

Moving Finite Element Methods for a System of Semi-Linear Fractional Diffusion Equations

This paper studies a system of semi-linear fractional diffusion equations which arise in competitive predator-prey models by replacing the second-order derivatives in the spatial variables with fractional derivatives of order less than two. Moving finite element methods are proposed to solve the system of fractional diffusion equations and the convergence rates of the methods are proved. Numerical examples are carried out to confirm the theoretical findings. Some applications in anomalous diffusive Lotka-Volterra and Michaelis-Menten-Holling predator-prey models are studied.     

Fractional Electromagnetic Equations Using Fractional Forms

The generalized physics laws involving fractional derivatives give new models and conceptions that can be used in complex systems having memory effects. Using the fractional differential forms, the classical electromagnetic equations involving the fractional derivatives have been worked out. The fractional conservation law for the electric charge and the wave equations were derived by using this method. In addition, the fractional vector and scalar potentials and the fractional Poynting theorem have been derived.     

The Dual Action of Fractional Multi Time Hamilton Equations

The fractional multi time Lagrangian equations has been derived for dynamical systems within Riemann-Liouville derivatives. The fractional multi time Hamiltonian is introduced as Legendre transformation of multi time Lagrangian. The corresponding fractional Euler-Lagrange and the Hamilton equations are obtained and the fractional multi time constant of motion are discussed.     

Relaxation Processes and Fractional Differential Equations

Relaxation properties of different media (dielectrics, semiconductors, ferromagnetics, and so on) are normally expressed in terms of response function f(t) or of real and imaginary components of its Fourier transform dependent on the frequency . It had been recently recognized that most of real materials show deviation from classical Debye process. There exist a few empirical approximations of non-Debye response functions. One of them is the two-power approximation containing and , where and belong to the interval (0, 1). This formula gives the basis for introducing of fractional differential equation considered in this paper. A stochastic interpretation of this equation is offered; its solution is found and investigated. The results are in agreement with experimental data.

Moments for Tempered Fractional Advection-Diffusion Equations

This paper develops moment formulas for exponentially tempered, fractional advection-diffusion equations (TFADEs) that transition from anomalous to asymptotic diffusion limits over time. Exact analytical expressions or series representations for spatial moments up to the fourth order are derived by integral transform or asymptotic expansion approach. A fully Lagrangian solver, cross verified by an implicit Eulerian approach, is also developed to calculate numerically the complete evolution of moments for the TFADEs with complex initial and boundary conditions. Moment analysis identifies the diffusion equation that attracts the tempered anomalous diffusion in the long time limit. Fitting of moments measured at two end members of alluvial systems checks the applicability of moment analysis in understanding real diffusion.     

Fractional Stochastic Differential Equations Satisfying Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem

We propose in this work a fractional stochastic differential equation (FSDE) model consistent with the over-damped limit of the generalized Langevin equation model. As a result of the ‘fluctuation-dissipation theorem’, the differential equations driven by fractional Brownian noise to model memory effects should be paired with Caputo derivatives, and this FSDE model should be understood in an integral form. We establish the existence of strong solutions for such equations and discuss the ergodicity and convergence to Gibbs measure. In the linear forcing regime, we show rigorously the algebraic convergence to Gibbs measure when the ‘fluctuation-dissipation theorem’ is satisfied, and this verifies that satisfying ‘fluctuation-dissipation theorem’ indeed leads to the correct physical behavior. We further discuss possible approaches to analyze the ergodicity and convergence to Gibbs measure in the nonlinear forcing regime, while leave the rigorous analysis for future works. The FSDE model proposed is suitable for systems in contact with heat bath with power-law kernel and subdiffusion behaviors.

In this paper, a new fractional projective Riccati equation method is proposed to establish exact solutions for fractional partial differential equations in the sense of modified Riemann–Liouville derivative. This method can be seen as the fractional version of the known projective Riccati equation method. For illustrating the validity of this method,we apply this method to solve the space-time fractional Whitham–Broer–Kaup(WBK) equations and the nonlinear fractional Sharma–Tasso–Olever(STO) equation, and as a result, some new exact solutions for them are obtained.

Anomalous Diffusion Equations with Multiplicative Acceleration

A generalization of the model of Lévy walks with traps is considered. The main difference between the model under consideration and the already existing models is the introduction of multiplicative particle acceleration at collisions. The introduction of acceleration transfers the consideration of walks to coordinate–momentum phase space, which allows both the spatial distribution of particles and their spectrum to be obtained. The kinetic equations in coordinate–momentum phase space have been derived for the case of walks with two possible states. This system of equations in a special case is shown to be reduced to ordinary Lévy walks. This system of kinetic equations admits of integration over the spatial variable, which transfers the consideration only to momentum space and allows the spectrum to be calculated. An exact solution of the kinetic equations can be obtained in terms of the Laplace–Mellin transform. The inverse transform can be performed only for the asymptotic solutions. The calculated spectra are compared with the results of Monte Carlo simulations, which confirm the validity of the derived asymptotics.

Linearization of Systems of Nonlinear Diffusion Equations

We investigate the linearization of systems of n-component nonlinear diffusion equations; such systems have physical applications in soil science, mathematical biology and invariant curve flows. Equivalence transformations of their auxiliary systems are used to identify the systems that can be linearized. We also provide several examples of systems with two-component equations, and show how to linearize them by nonlocal mappings.
