Subdiffusion equation with Caputo fractional derivative with respect to another function

Statistical Mechanics 2021-07-21 v3

Abstract

We show an application of a subdiffusion equation with Caputo fractional time derivative with respect to another function gg to describe subdiffusion in a medium having a structure evolving over time. In this case a continuous transition from subdiffusion to other type of diffusion may occur. The process can be interpreted as "ordinary" subdiffusion with fixed subdiffusion parameter (subdiffusion exponent) α\alpha in which time scale is changed by the function gg. As example, we consider the transition from "ordinary" subdiffusion to ultraslow diffusion. The function gg generates the additional aging process superimposed on the "standard" aging generated by "ordinary" subdiffusion. The aging process is analyzed using coefficient of relative aging of gg--subdiffusion with respect to "ordinary" subdiffusion. The method of solving the gg-subdiffusion equation is also presented.
