Fractional diffusion equations for three-dimensional lattice models based on fractional-order differences of the Grünwald-Letnikov type are suggested. These lattice fractional diffusion equations contain difference operators that describe long-range jumps from one lattice site to another. In continuum limit, the suggested lattice diffusion equations with noninteger order differences give the diffusion equations with the Grünwald-Letnikov fractional derivatives for continuum. We propose a consistent derivation of the fractional diffusion equation with the fractional derivatives of Grünwald-Letnikov type. The suggested lattice diffusion equations can be considered as a new microstructural basis of space-fractional diffusion in nonlocal media.

AbstractIn this paper, a class of second-order tempered difference operators for the left and right Riemann–Liouville tempered fractional derivatives is constructed. And a class of second-order numerical methods is presented for solving the space tempered fractional diffusion equations, where the space tempered fractional derivatives are evaluated by the proposed tempered difference operators, and in the time direction is discreted by the Crank–Nicolson method. Numerical schemes are proved to be unconditionally stable and convergent with order $O(h^{2}+\tau ^{2})$O(h2+τ2). Numerical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the numerical schemes.

In this paper, the maximum principle of variable-order fractional diffusion equations and the estimates of fractional derivatives with higher variable order are investigated. Firstly, we deduce the fractional derivative of a function of higher variable order at an arbitrary point. We also give an estimate of the error. Some important inequalities for fractional derivatives of variable order at arbitrary points and extreme points are presented. Then, the maximum principles of Riesz-Caputo fractional differential equations in terms of the multi-term space-time variable order are proved. Finally, under the initial-boundary value conditions, it is verified via the proposed principle that the solutions are unique, and their continuous dependance holds.

AbstractTwo significant inequalities for generalized time fractional derivatives at extreme points are obtained. Then, we apply the inequalities to establish the maximum principles for multi-term time-space fractional variable-order operators. Finally, we employ the principles to investigate two kinds of diffusion equations involving generalized time-fractional Caputo derivatives and space-fractional Riesz-Caputo derivatives.

AbstractThis 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.
