Abstract

We consider generalized time-fractional evolution equations of the form u(t)=u0+0tk(t,s)Lu(s)dsu(t)=u_0+\int_0^tk(t,s)Lu(s)ds with a fairly general memory kernel kk and an operator LL being the generator of a strongly continuous semigroup. In particular, LL may be the generator L0L_0 of a Markov process ξ\xi on some state space QQ, or L:=L0+b+VL:=L_0+b\nabla+V for a suitable potential VV and drift bb, or LL generating subordinate semigroups or Schr\"{o}dinger type groups. This class of evolution equations includes in particular time- and space- fractional heat and Schr\"odinger type equations. We show that a subordination principle holds for such evolution equations and obtain Feynman-Kac formulae for solutions of these equations with the use of different stochastic processes, such as subordinate Markov processes and randomly scaled Gaussian processes. In particular, we obtain some Feynman-Kac formulae with generalized grey Brownian motion and other related self-similar processes with stationary increments.
