Well-posedness and asymptotic estimate for a diffusion equation with time-fractional derivative

Abstract

In this paper, we study the asymptotic estimate of solution for a mixed-order time-fractional diffusion equation in a bounded domain subject to the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition. Firstly, the unique existence and regularity estimates of solution to the initial-boundary value problem are considered. Then combined with some important properties, including a maximum principle for a time-fractional ordinary equation and a coercivity inequality for fractional derivatives, the energy method shows that the decay in time of the solution is dominated by the term $t^{-\alpha }$ as $t\to \infty$.
