Abstract(s)

In this paper, we present some new integral and series representations for the eigenfunctions of the multidimensional time-fractional diffusion-wave operator with the time-fractional derivative of order $\beta \in ]1,2[$ defined in the Caputo sense. The integral representations are obtained in form of the inverse Fourier-Bessel transform and as double contour integrals of the Mellin-Barnes type. Concerning series expansions, the eigenfunctions are expressed as the double generalized hypergeometric series for any $\beta \in ]1,2[$ and as Kamp\'{e} de F\'{e}riet and Lauricella series in two variables for the rational values of $\beta$. The limit cases $\beta=1$ (diffusion operator) and $\beta=2$ (wave operator) as well as an intermediate case $\beta=\frac{3}{2}$ are studied in detail. Finally, we provide several plots of the eigenfunctions to some selected eigenvalues for different particular values of the fractional derivative order $\beta$ and the spatial dimension $n$.
