Trace operators for Riemann--Liouville fractional equations

Analysis of PDEs 2025-02-18 v1

Abstract

We begin with a brief overview of the most commonly used fractional derivatives, namely the Caputo and Riemann-Liouville derivatives. We then focus on the study of the fractional time wave equation with the Riemann-Liouville derivative, addressing key questions such as well-posedness, regularity, and a trace result in appropriate interpolation spaces. Additionally, we explore the duality relationship with the Caputo fractional time derivative. The analysis is based on expanding the solution in terms of Mittag-Leffler functions.
