In this paper, the maximum principle of variable-order fractional diffusion equations and the estimates of fractional derivatives with higher variable order are investigated. Firstly, we deduce the fractional derivative of a function of higher variable order at an arbitrary point. We also give an estimate of the error. Some important inequalities for fractional derivatives of variable order at arbitrary points and extreme points are presented. Then, the maximum principles of Riesz-Caputo fractional differential equations in terms of the multi-term space-time variable order are proved. Finally, under the initial-boundary value conditions, it is verified via the proposed principle that the solutions are unique, and their continuous dependance holds.

AbstractTwo significant inequalities for generalized time fractional derivatives at extreme points are obtained. Then, we apply the inequalities to establish the maximum principles for multi-term time-space fractional variable-order operators. Finally, we employ the principles to investigate two kinds of diffusion equations involving generalized time-fractional Caputo derivatives and space-fractional Riesz-Caputo derivatives.

AbstractIn the paper, maximum principle for the generalized time-fractional diffusion equations including the multi-term diffusion equation and the diffusion equation of distributed order is formulated and discussed. In these equations, the time-fractional derivative is defined in the Caputo sense. In contrast to the Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative, the Caputo fractional derivative is shown to possess a suitable generalization of the extremum principle well-known for ordinary derivative. As an application, the maximum principle is used to get some a priori estimates for solutions of initial-boundary-value problems for the generalized time-fractional diffusion equations and then to prove uniqueness of their solutions.

AbstractIn this paper, we formulate and prove the weak and strong maximum principles for a general parabolic-type fractional differential operator with the Riemann–Liouville time-fractional derivative of distributed order. The proofs of the maximum principles are based on an estimate of the Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative at its maximum point that was recently derived by the authors. Some a priori norm estimates for solutions to initial-boundary value problems for linear and nonlinear fractional diffusion equations of distributed order and uniqueness results for these problems are presented.

Fractional diffusion equations for three-dimensional lattice models based on fractional-order differences of the Grünwald-Letnikov type are suggested. These lattice fractional diffusion equations contain difference operators that describe long-range jumps from one lattice site to another. In continuum limit, the suggested lattice diffusion equations with noninteger order differences give the diffusion equations with the Grünwald-Letnikov fractional derivatives for continuum. We propose a consistent derivation of the fractional diffusion equation with the fractional derivatives of Grünwald-Letnikov type. The suggested lattice diffusion equations can be considered as a new microstructural basis of space-fractional diffusion in nonlocal media.

This paper derives a new operational matrix of the variable-order (VO) time fractional partial derivative involved in anomalous diffusion for shifted Chebyshev polynomials. We then develop an accurate numerical algorithm to solve the 1 + 1 and 2 + 1 VO and constant-order fractional diffusion equation with Dirichlet conditions. The contraction of the present method is based on shifted Chebyshev collocation procedure in combination with the derived shifted Chebyshev operational matrix. The main advantage of the proposed method is to investigate a global approximation for spatial and temporal discretizations, and it reduces such problems to those of solving a system of algebraic equations, which greatly simplifies the solution process. In addition, we analyze the convergence of the present method graphically. Finally, comparisons between the algorithm derived in this paper and the existing algorithms are given, which show that our numerical schemes exhibit better performances than the existing ones.
