This problem was first considered by \\citet{nigmatullin}, and \\citet{zaslavsky} in $\\mathbb R^d$ for modeling some physical phenomena. The fractional derivative models time delays in a diffusion process. We will give a survey of the recent results on the fractional Cauchy problem and its generalizations on bounded domains $D\\subset \\rd$ obtained in \\citet{m-n-v-aop, mnv-2}. We also study the solutions of fractional Cauchy problem where the first time derivative is replaced with an infinite sum of fractional derivatives. We point out a connection to eigenvalue problems for the fractional time operators considered. The solutions to the eigenvalue problems are expressed by Mittag-Leffler functions and its generalized versions. The stochastic solution of the eigenvalue problems for the fractional derivatives are given by inverse subordinators.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-04-09T15:30:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60G18" ], "keywords": [ "fractional cauchy problem", "bounded domains", "derivative models time delays", "fractional derivative", "eigenvalue problems" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1004.1577N" } } }
