Time and space nonlocalities underlying fractional-derivative models: Distinction and literature review of field applications

Y Zhang, DA Benson, DM Reeves - Advances in Water Resources, 2009 - Elsevier
We investigate the spatiotemporal nonlocality underlying fractional-derivative models as a
possible explanation for regional-scale anomalous dispersion with heavy tails. Properties of …

Inverse stable subordinators

MM Meerschaert, P Straka - Mathematical modelling of natural …, 2013 - cambridge.org
The inverse stable subordinator provides a probability model for time-fractional differential
equations, and leads to explicit solution formulae. This paper reviews properties of the …

Tempered fractional calculus

F Sabzikar, MM Meerschaert, J Chen - Journal of Computational Physics, 2015 - Elsevier
Fractional derivatives and integrals are convolutions with a power law. Multiplying by an
exponential factor leads to tempered fractional derivatives and integrals. Tempered …

General fractional calculus, evolution equations, and renewal processes

AN Kochubei - Integral Equations and Operator Theory, 2011 - Springer
We develop a kind of fractional calculus and theory of relaxation and diffusion equations
associated with operators in the time variable, of the form (\mathbb D_ (k) u)(t)= d dt …

Tempered anomalous diffusion in heterogeneous systems

MM Meerschaert, Y Zhang… - Geophysical Research …, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
Passive tracers in heterogeneous media experience preasymptotic transport with scale‐
dependent anomalous diffusion, before eventually converging to the asymptotic diffusion …

The fractional Poisson process and the inverse stable subordinator

M Meerschaert, E Nane, P Vellaisamy - 2011 - projecteuclid.org
The fractional Poisson process is a renewal process with Mittag-Leffler waiting times. Its
distributions solve a time-fractional analogue of the Kolmogorov forward equation for a …

A simple and efficient random walk solution of multi-rate mobile/immobile mass transport equations

DA Benson, MM Meerschaert - Advances in Water Resources, 2009 - Elsevier
We extend the particle-tracking method to simulate general multi-rate mass transfer (MRMT)
equations. Previous methods for single-rate equations used two-state Markov chains and …

Time fractional equations and probabilistic representation

ZQ Chen - Chaos, Solitons & Fractals, 2017 - Elsevier
In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness of solutions for general fractional-time
parabolic equations of mixture type, and their probabilistic representations in terms of the …

Distributed-order fractional diffusions on bounded domains

MM Meerschaert, E Nane, P Vellaisamy - Journal of Mathematical Analysis …, 2011 - Elsevier
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 …

Convolution-Type Derivatives, Hitting-Times of Subordinators and Time-Changed C 0-semigroups

B Toaldo - Potential Analysis, 2015 - Springer
This paper takes under consideration subordinators and their inverse processes (hitting-
times). The governing equations of such processes are presented by means of convolution …
