Application of the fractional Sturm–Liouville theory to a fractional Sturm–Liouville telegraph equation

In this paper, we consider a non-homogeneous time-space-fractional telegraph equation in $n$-dimensions, which is obtained from the standard telegraph equation by replacing the first- and second-order time derivatives by Caputo fractional derivatives of corresponding fractional orders, and the Lapla...

Resumo:In this paper, we consider a non-homogeneous time-space-fractional telegraph equation in $n$-dimensions, which is obtained from the standard telegraph equation by replacing the first- and second-order time derivatives by Caputo fractional derivatives of corresponding fractional orders, and the Laplacian operator by a fractional Sturm-Liouville operator defined in terms of right and left fractional Riemann-Liouville derivatives. Using the method of separation of variables, we derive series representations of the solution in terms of Wright functions, for the homogeneous and non-homogeneous cases. The convergence of the series solutions is studied by using well known properties of the Wright function. We show also that our series can be written using the bivariate Mittag-Leffler function. In the end of the paper some illustrative examples are presented.
