Subdiffusion--absorption process in a system consisting of two different media

Abstract

Subdiffusion with reaction A+BBA+B\rightarrow B is considered in a system which consists of two homogeneous media joined together; the AA particles are mobile whereas BB are static. Subdiffusion and reaction parameters, which are assumed to be independent of time and space variable, can be different in both media. Particles AA move freely across the border between the media. In each part of the system the process is described by the subdiffusion--reaction equations with fractional time derivative. By means of the method presented in this paper we derive both the fundamental solutions (the Green's functions) P(x,t)P(x,t) to the subdiffusion--reaction equations and the boundary conditions at the border between the media. One of the conditions demands the continuity of a flux and the other one contains the Riemann--Liouville fractional time derivatives α1P(0+,t)/tα1=(D1/D2)α2P(0,t)/tα2\partial^{\alpha_1}P(0^+,t)/\partial t^{\alpha_1}=(D_1/D_2)\partial^{\alpha_2}P(0^-,t)/\partial t^{\alpha_2}, where the subdiffusion parameters α1\alpha_1, D1D_1 and α2\alpha_2, D2D_2 are defined in the regions x<0x<0 and x>0x>0, respectively.
