Description

The time fractional diffusion equation (TFDE) is obtained from the standard diffusion equation by replacing the first-order time derivative with a fractional derivative of order in (0,1). In this work, an explicit finite-difference scheme for TFDE is presented. Discrete models of a non-Markovian random walk are generated for simulating random processes whose spatial probability density evolves in time according to this fractional diffusion equation. We derive the scaling restriction of the stability and convergence of the discrete non-Markovian random walk approximation for TFDE in a bounded domain. Finally, some numerical examples are presented to show the application of the present technique.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
