Analytical Solutions,Moments, and Their Asymptotic Behaviors for the Time-Space Fractional Cable Equation

Following the fractional cable equation established in the letter B.I. Henry, T.A.M. Langlands, and S.L.Wearne, Phys. Rev. Lett. 100(2008) 128103], we present the time-space fractional cable equation which describes the anomalous transport of electrodiffusion in nerve cells. The derivation is based on the generalized fractional Ohm's law;and the temporal memory effects and spatial-nonlocality are involved in the time-space fractional model. With the help of integral transform method we derive the analytical solutions expressed by the Green's function; the corresponding fractional moments are calculated; and their asymptotic behaviors are discussed. In addition, the explicit solutions of the considered model with two different external current injections are also presented.
