Analysis of a Time-Fractional Substantial Diffusion Equation of Variable Order

A time-fractional substantial diffusion equation of variable order is investigated, in which the variable-order fractional substantial derivative accommodates the memory effects and the structure change of the surroundings of the physical processes with respect to time. The existence and uniqueness...

description A time-fractional substantial diffusion equation of variable order is investigated, in which the variable-order fractional substantial derivative accommodates the memory effects and the structure change of the surroundings of the physical processes with respect to time. The existence and uniqueness of the solutions to the proposed model are proved, based on which the weighted high-order regularity of the solutions, in which the weight function characterizes the singularity of the solutions, are analyzed.
