AbstractIn this work, we study a new type of linear partial differential equations – the variable-order subdiffusion equation. Here the Laplace operator in space acts on the Riemann-Liouville time derivative of space-dependent order. We construct a variable-order Sobolev and prove the weak solvability of the initial-boundary value problem for this equation, which confirms the well-posedness of the problem. Finally, we briefly discuss the application of the developed approach to the more general variable-order reaction-subdiffusion equation.

AbstractThe initial-boundary value problem for a pseudo-parabolic equation exhibiting initial layer is considered. For solving this problem numerically independence of the perturbation parameter, we propose a difference scheme which consists of the implicit-Euler method for the time derivative and a central difference method for the spatial derivative on uniform mesh. The time domain is discretized with a nonuniform grid generated by equidistributing a positive monitor function. The performance of the numerical scheme is tested which confirms the expected behavior of the method. The existing method is compared with other methods available in the recent literature.

An initial-boundary value problem for a time-fractional subdiffusion equation with the Riemann-Liouville derivatives on N-dimensional torus is considered. Uniqueness and existence of the classical solution of the posed problem are proved by the classical Fourier method. Sufficient conditions for the initial function and for the right-hand side of the equation are indicated, under which the corresponding Fourier series converge absolutely and uniformly. It should be noted, that the condition on the initial function found in this paper is less restrictive than the analogous condition in the case of an equation with derivatives in the sense of Caputo.

AbstractAn initial-boundary value problem, whose differential equation contains a sum of fractional time derivatives with orders between 0 and 1, is considered. Its spatial domain is {(0,1)^{d}} for some {d\in\{1,2,3\}}. This problem is a generalisation of the problem considered by Stynes, O’Riordan and Gracia in SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 55 (2017), pp. 1057–1079, where {d=1} and only one fractional time derivative was present. A priori bounds on the derivatives of the unknown solution are derived. A finite difference method, using the well-known L1 scheme for the discretisation of each temporal fractional derivative and classical finite differences for the spatial discretisation, is constructed on a mesh that is uniform in space and arbitrarily graded in time. Stability and consistency of the method and a sharp convergence result are proved; hence it is clear how to choose the temporal mesh grading in a optimal way. Numerical results supporting our theoretical results are provided.

AbstractWe consider a porous thermoelastic body, including voidage time derivative among the independent constitutive variables. For the initial boundary value problem of such materials, we analyze the temporal behaviour of the solutions. To this aim we use the Cesaro means for the components of energy and prove the asymptotic equipartition in mean of the kinetic and strain energies.
