Fractional-hyperbolic systems

Abstract

Abstract We describe a class of evolution systems of linear partial differential equations with the Caputo-Dzhrbashyan fractional derivative of order α ∈ (0, 1) in the time variable t and the first order derivatives in spatial variables x = (x 1, …, x n), which can be considered as a fractional analogue of the class of hyperbolic systems. For such systems, we construct a fundamental solution of the Cauchy problem having exponential decay outside the fractional light cone {(t,x) : |t -α| ≤ 1}.
