Cauchy Problem for Fractional Diffusion Equations

Abstract

We consider an evolution equation with the regularized fractional derivative of an order $\alpha \in (0,1)$ with respect to the time variable, and a uniformly elliptic operator with variable coefficients acting in the spatial variables. Such equations describe diffusion on inhomogeneous fractals. A fundamental solution of the Cauchy problem is constructed and investigated.
