Fractional-parabolic systems (Q438666)

The author develops a theory of the Cauchy problem for linear evolution systems of partial differential equations with the Caputo-Dzhrbashyan fractional derivative in the time variable \(t\). The systems are fractional extensions of the first order in \(t\) satisfying the uniform strong parabolicity condition. The author first studies the particular case where the differential system has complex coefficients. Next, the general case where the coefficients are bounded and Holder continuous functions is considered with the system satisfying the uniform strong parabolicity condition. The main results deal with the construction of the Green's matrix and an investigation of its properties. The results are first stated and proved in subsequent sections.
