DECAY RATES AND INITIAL VALUES FOR TIME-FRACTIONAL DIFFUSION-WAVE EQUATIONS


Masahiro Yamamoto

We consider a solution u(•, t) to an inițial boundary value problem for time-fractional diffusion-wave equation with the order a G (0,2) \{ 1} where t is a time variable. We first prove that a suitable norm of u(•, t) is bounded by the rate t-a for 0 < a < 1 and t1-a for 1 < a < 2 for all large t > 0. Second, we characterize initial values in the cases where the decay rates are faster than the above critical exponents. Differently from the classical diffusion equation a = 1, the decay rate can keep some local characterization of initial values. The proof is based on the eigenfunction expansions of solutions and the asymptotic expansions of the Mittag-Leffler functions for large time.
