Fractional-order diffusion-wave equation. (English) Zbl 0846.35001
Summary: The fractional-order diffusion-wave equation is an evolution equation of order $\alpha \in \left(0,2\right]$ which continues to the diffusion equation when $\alpha \to 1$ and to the wave equation when $\alpha \to 2$. We prove some properties of its solution and give some examples. We define a new fractional calculus (negative-direction fractional calculus) and study some of its properties. We study the existence, uniqueness, and properties of the solution of the negative-direction fractional diffusion-wave problem.
