On a jump-type stochastic fractional partial differential equation with fractional noises

We study a class of stochastic fractional partial differential equations of order α>1$\alpha >1$ driven by a (pure jump) Lévy space–time white noise and a fractional noise. We prove the existence and uniqueness of the global mild solution by the fixed point principle under some suitable assumptions.     

The fundamental solutions for the fractional diffusion-wave equation

The time fractional diffusion-wave equation is obtained from the classical diffusion or wave equation by replacing the first- or second-order time derivative by a fractional derivative of order 2β with 0 < β ≤ 1/2 or 1/2 < β ≤ 1, respectively. Using the method of the Laplace transform, it is shown that the fundamental solutions of the basic Cauchy and Signalling problems can be expressed in terms of an auxiliary function M(z;β), where z = |x|/t^β is the similarity variable. Such function is proved to be an entire function of Wright type.

Numerical solution of fractional oscillator equation

We focus on a numerical scheme applied for a fractional oscillator equation in a finite time interval. This type of equation includes a complex form of left- and right-sided fractional derivatives. Its analytical solution is represented by a series of left and right fractional integrals and therefore is difficult in practical calculations. Here we elaborated two numerical schemes being dependent on a fractional order of the equation. The results of numerical calculations are compared with analytical solutions. Then we illustrate convergence and stability of our schemes.     

Positive solutions for Dirichlet problems of singular nonlinear fractional differential equations

In this paper, we investigate the existence of positive solutions for the singular fractional boundary value problem: Dαu(t)+f(t,u(t),Dμu(t))=0, u(0)=u(1)=0, where 1<α<2, 0<μ?α−1, Dα is the standard Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative, f is a positive Carathéodory function and f(t,x,y) is singular at x=0. By means of a fixed point theorem on a cone, the existence of positive solutions is obtained. The proofs are based on regularization and sequential techniques.

Some applications to fractional differential and integral equations are also indicated.

The exact solution of a linear integral equation with weakly singular kernel

A space , which is proved to be a reproducing kernel space with simple reproducing kernel, is defined. The expression of its reproducing kernel function is given. Subsequently, a class of linear Volterra integral equation (VIE) with weakly singular kernel is discussed in the new reproducing kernel space. The reproducing kernel method of linear operator equation Au=f, which request the image space of operator A is and operator A is bounded, is improved. Namely, the request for the image space is weakened to be L²[a,b], and the boundedness of operator A is also not required. As a result, the exact solution of the equation is obtained. The numerical experiments show the efficiency of our method.     

A time fractional functional differential equation driven by the fractional Brownian motion

Let $B^H$ be a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst index $H>\frac12$. In this paper, we prove the global existence and uniqueness of the equation $$ \begin{cases} ^CD_t^{\gamma}x(t)=f(x_t)+G(x_t)\frac{d}{dt}B^H(t),\ \ \ \ &t\in(0,T], \x(t)=\eta(t), \ \ \ \ \ &t\in[-r,0], \end{cases} $$ where $\max\{H,2-2H\}<\gamma<1$, $^CD_t^{\gamma}$ is the Caputo derivative, and $x_t\in \mathcal{C}_r=\mathcal{C}([-r,0],\mathbb{R})$ with $x_t(u)=x(t+u),u\in[-r,0]$. We also study the dependence of the solution on the initial condition.

Solutions for a generalized fractional anomalous diffusion equation

In this paper, we investigate the solutions for a generalized fractional diffusion equation that extends some known diffusion equations by taking a spatial time-dependent diffusion coefficient and an external force into account, which subjects to the natural boundaries and the generic initial condition. We obtain explicit analytical expressions for the probability distribution and study the relation between our solutions and those obtained within the maximum entropy principle by using the Tsallis entropy.

As an example we discuss positivity of solutions, particularly in linear case.     

Solutions for the fractional Landau-Lifshitz equation

This article considers the dynamic equation of a reduced model for thin-film micromagnetics deduced by A. DeSimone, R.V. Kohn and F. Otto in [A. DeSimone, R.V. Kohn, F. Otto, A reduced theory for thin-film micromagnetics, Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 55 (2002) 1-53]. To derive the existence of weak solutions under periodical boundary condition, the authors first prove the existence of smooth solutions for the approximating equation, then prove the convergence of the viscosity solution when the viscosity term vanishes, which implies the existence of solutions for the original equation.

The boundary value problem is investigated under some conditions. Leray–Schauder and Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorems in a cone are adopted. Existence of positive solutions is provided. Finally, two examples with numerical solutions are given to support theoretical results.
