This article starts over the backwards diffusion problem by replacing the \emph{noncausal} diffusion equation, the direct problem, by the \emph{causal} diffusion model developed in \cite{Kow11} for the case of constant diffusion speed. For…

We consider subdiffusion in a system which consists of two media separated by a thin membrane. The subdiffusion parameters may be different in each of the medium. Using the new method presented in this paper we derive the probabilities (the…

We develop a description of diffusion limited growth in solid-solid transformations, which are strongly influenced by elastic effects. Density differences and structural transformations provoke stresses at interfaces, which affect the phase…
Fractional derivatives can be used to model time delays in a diffusion process. When the order of the fractional derivative is distributed over the unit interval, it is useful for modeling a mixture of delay sources. In some special cases…
