Time distributed-order diffusion-wave equation. II. Applications of Laplace and Fourier transformations
A Cauchy problem for a time distributed-order multi-dimensional diffusion-wave equation containing a forcing term is reinterpreted in the space of tempered distributions, and a distributional diffusion-wave equation is obtained. The distributional equation is solved in the general case of weight function (or distribution). Solutions are given in terms of solution kernels (Green's functions), which are studied separately for two cases. The first case is when the order of the fractional derivative is in the interval [0, 1], while, in the second case, the order of the fractional derivative is in the interval [0, 2]. Solutions of fractional diffusion-wave and fractional telegraph equations are obtained as special cases. Numerical experiments are also performed. An analogue of the maximum principle is also presented.
