Fractionally coupled solutions of the diffusion equation. (Q1408302)

The solution on the diffusion equation \(\partial_t u(x,t)= \partial^2_x u(x,t)\) subject to the constraint \((A\,\partial^\alpha_t+ B\,\partial^\beta_x)u(x, t)= 0\), \(\alpha,\beta\in \mathbb{R}^+\) and \(\partial^\alpha_t\), \(\partial^\beta_x\) are fractional derivatives is discussed here. [For consistency \((A\,\partial^\alpha_t+ B\,\partial^\beta_x)^n= \partial_t- \partial^2_x\) for some \(n\).] If \(A\) and \(B\) are matrices or complex quantities the resulting diffusions become coupled processes. The case of three space dimensions is also discussed.
