- A Time-Fractional Borel–Pompeiu Formula and a Related Hypercomplex Operator CalculusPublication . Ferreira, M.; Rodrigues, M. M.; Vieira, N.In this paper, we develop a time-fractional operator calculus in fractional Clifford analysis. Initially, we study the $L_p$-integrability of the fundamental solutions of the multi-dimensional time-fractional diffusion operator and the associated time-fractional parabolic Dirac operator. Then we introduce the time-fractional analogs of the Teodorescu and Cauchy-Bitsadze operators in a cylindrical domain, and we investigate their main mapping properties. As a main result, we prove a time-fractional version of the Borel-Pompeiu formula based on a time-fractional Stokes' formula. This tool in hand allows us to present a Hodge-type decomposition for the forward time-fractional parabolic Dirac operator with left Caputo fractional derivative in the time coordinate. The obtained results exhibit an interesting duality relation between forward and backward parabolic Dirac operators and Caputo and Riemann-Liouville time-fractional derivatives. We round off this paper by giving a direct application of the obtained results for solving time-fractional boundary value problems.
- Time-fractional diffusion equation with psi-Hilfer derivativePublication . Vieira, Nelson; Rodrigues, M. Manuela; Ferreira, MiltonIn this work, we consider the multidimensional time-fractional diffusion equation with the $\psi$-Hilfer derivative. This fractional derivative enables the interpolation between Riemann-Liouville and Caputo fractional derivatives and its kernel depends on an arbitrary positive monotone increasing function $\psi$ thus encompassing several fractional derivatives in the literature. This allows us to obtain general results for different families of problems that depend on the function $\psi$ selected. By employing techniques of Fourier, $\psi$-Laplace, and Mellin transforms, we obtain a solution representation in terms of convolutions involving Fox H-functions for the Cauchy problem associated with our equation. Series representations of the first fundamental solution are explicitly obtained for any dimension as well as the fractional moments of arbitrary positive order. For the one-dimensional case, we show that the series representation reduces to a Wright function, and we prove that it corresponds to a probability density function for any admissible $\psi$. Finally, some plots of the fundamental solution are presented for particular choices of the function $\psi$ and the order of differentiation.
- Eigenfunctions and fundamental solutions of the fractional Laplace and Dirac operators using Caputo derivativesPublication . Ferreira, Milton; Vieira, Nelson Felipe LoureiroIn this paper we study eigenfunctions and fundamental solutions for the three parameter fractional Laplace operator ${}^C\!\Delta_+^{(\alpha,\beta,\gamma)}:= {}^C\!D_{x_0^+}^{1+\alpha} +{}^C\!D_{y_0^+}^{1+\beta} +{}^C\!D_{z_0^+}^{1+\gamma},$ where $(\alpha, \beta, \gamma) \in \,]0,1]^3$ and the fractional derivatives ${}^C\!D_{x_0^+}^{1+\alpha}$, ${}^C\!D_{y_0^+}^{1+\beta}$, ${}^C\!D_{z_0^+}^{1+\gamma}$ are in the Caputo sense. Applying integral transform methods we describe a complete family of eigenfunctions and fundamental solutions of the operator ${}^C\!\Delta_+^{(\alpha,\beta,\gamma)}$ in classes of functions admitting a summable fractional derivative. The solutions are expressed using the Mittag-Leffler function. From the family of fundamental solutions obtained we deduce a family of fundamental solutions of the corresponding fractional Dirac operator, which factorizes the fractional Laplace operator introduced in this paper.
- Fundamental solution of the time-fractional telegraph Dirac operatorPublication . Ferreira, Milton; Rodrigues, M. Manuela; Vieira, Nelsonn this work, we obtain the fundamental solution (FS) of the multidimensionaltime-fractional telegraph Dirac operator where the 2 time-fractional derivatives oforders𝛼∈]0,1]and𝛽∈]1,2]are in the Caputo sense. Explicit integral and seriesrepresentation of the FS are obtained for any dimension. We present and discusssome plots of the FS for some particular values of the dimension and of the frac-tional parameters𝛼and𝛽. Finally, using the FS, we study some Poisson and Cauchyproblems
- Dirac’s method applied to the time-fractional diffusion-wave equationPublication . Ferreira, M.; Vieira, N.; Rodrigues, M. M.We compute the fundamental solution for time-fractional diffusion Dirac-like equations, which arise from the factorization of the multidimensional time-fractional diffusion-wave equation using Dirac’s factorization approach.
