Green Functions of the First Boundary-Value Problem for a Fractional Diffusion—Wave Equation in Multidimensional Domains

Abstract

We construct the Green function of the first boundary-value problem for a diffusion-wave equation with fractional derivative with respect to the time variable. The Green function is sought in terms of a double-layer potential of the equation under consideration. We prove a jump relation and solve an integral equation for an unknown density. Using the Green function, we give a solution of the first boundary-value problem in a multidimensional cylindrical domain. The fractional differentiation is given by the Dzhrbashyan–Nersesyan fractional differentiation operator. In particular, this covers the cases of equations with the Riemann–Liouville and Caputo derivatives.
