Inhomogeneous parametric scaling and variable-order fractional diffusion equations
arXiv:2004.09876 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.102.012133
Abstract
We discuss the derivation and the solutions of integro-differential equations (variable-order time-fractional diffusion equations) following as continuous limits for lattice continuous time random walk schemes with power-law waiting-time probability density functions, whose parameters are position-dependent. We concentrate on subdiffusive cases and discuss two situations as examples: A system consisting of two parts with different exponents of subdiffusion, and a system in which the subdiffusion exponent changes linearly from one end of the interval to another one. In both cases we compare the numerical solutions of generalized master equations describing the process on the lattice with the corresponding solutions of the continuous equations, which follow by exact solution of the corresponding equations in the Laplace domain with subsequent numerical inversion using the Gaver-Stehfest algorithm.
