Asymptotic analysis of fundamental solution of multi-dimensional distributed-order time-fractional diffusion equation with unit density function

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, we consider the multi-dimensional distributed-order time-fractional diffusion equation with the unit density function. We introduce the new Volterra–Bessel function and give the integral representations of fundamental solutions of equations in terms of this function in the whole- and half-space. The fractional moments of fundamental solutions are also provided in the higher dimensions using the Mellin transforms. We further apply steepest descent method to find the asymptotic behaviors of solutions using the Schläfli integral of the Volterra–Bessel function. In this respect, we study the asymptotic analysis of the Volterra–Bessel function with the large parameters, and subsequently obtain the asymptotic behaviors of fundamental solutions with a discussion on the large space variable, large time variable, higher dimensions and small diffusivity constant.
