Special Case

In this paper, we consider a nonlinear fractional differential equation. This equation takes the form of the Bernoulli differential equation, where we use the Caputo fractional derivative of non-integer order instead of the first-order derivative. The paper proposes an exact solution for this equation, in which coefficients are power law functions. We also give conditions for the existence of the exact solution for this non-linear fractional differential equation. The exact solution of the fractional logistic differential equation with power law coefficients is also proposed as a special case of the proposed solution for the Bernoulli fractional differential equation. Some applications of the Bernoulli fractional differential equation to describe dynamic processes with power law memory in physics and economics are suggested.

Fractional Differential

At present, the theory of fractional calculus is widely used in many fields of science for modeling various processes. Differential equations with fractional derivatives are used to model the migration of pollutants in porous inhomogeneous media and allow a more correct description of the behavior of pollutants at large distances from the source. The analytical solution of differential equations with fractional order derivatives is often very complicated or even impossible. There has been proposed a numerical method for solving fractional differential equations in partial derivatives with respect to time to describe the migration of pollutants in groundwater. An implicit difference scheme is developed for the numerical solution of a non-stationary fractional differential equation, which is an analogue of the well-known implicit Crank-Nicholson difference scheme. The system of difference equations is presented in matrix form. The solution of the problem is reduced to the multiple solution of a tridiagonal system of linear algebraic equations by the tridiagonal matrix algorithm. The results of evaluating the spread of pollutant in groundwater based on the numerical method for model examples are presented. The concentrations of the substance obtained on the basis of the analytical and numerical solutions of the unsteady one-dimensional fractional differential equation are compared. The results obtained using the proposed method and on the basis of the well-known analytical solution of the fractional differential equation are in fairly good agreement with each other. The relative error is on average 9%. In contrast to the well-known analytical solution, the developed numerical method can be used to model the spread of pollutants in groundwater, taking into account their biodegradation.
