The solution to this equation can describe a steady state of the process of anomalous diffusion. The process arises from interactions within complex and non-homogeneous background. We present a numerical method which is based on the finite differences method. We consider a boundary value problem (Dirichlet conditions) for an equation with the Riesz-Feller fractional derivative. In the final part of this paper, same simulation results are shown. We present an example of non-linear temperature profiles in nanotubes which can be approximated by a solution to the fractional differential equation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-07-05T19:24:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "boundary value problem", "riesz-feller fractional operator", "anomalous diffusion equation", "numerical solution", "fractional differential equation" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
