In this paper we consider a one-dimensional diffusion equation on the interval $[0,1]$ satisfying non-Feller boundary conditions. As a consequence, the initial value Cauchy problem fails to preserve nonnegativity or boundedness.…

How long does a diffusing molecule spend in a close vicinity of a confining boundary or a catalytic surface? This quantity is determined by the boundary local time, which plays thus a crucial role in the description of various…

In this paper, we deal with analysis of the initial-boundary value problems for the semilinear time-fractional diffusion equations, while the case of the linear equations was considered in the first part of the present work. These equations…

The linear intensity profile of multiply scattered light in a slab geometry extrapolates to zero at a certain distance beyond the boundary. The diffusion equation with this "extrapolated boundary condition" has been used in the literature…
