2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 26A33, 33E12, 33C60, 44A10, 45K05, 74D05,The aim of this tutorial survey is to revisit the basic theory of relaxation processes governed by linear differential equations of fractional order. The fractional derivatives are intended both in the Rieamann-Liouville sense and in the Caputo sense. After giving a necessary outline of the classica theory of linear viscoelasticity, we contrast these two types of fractiona derivatives in their ability to take into...

Mathematics Subject Classification 2010: 26A33, 33E12, 35S10, 45K05.We give the proofs of the existence and regularity of the solutions in the space C^∞ (t > 0;H^(s+2) (R^n)) ∩ C^0(t ≧ 0;H^s(R^n)); s ∊ R, for the 1-term, 2-term,..., n-term time-fractional equation evaluated from the time fractional equation of distributed order with spatial Laplace operator Δx ...

Mathematics Subject Classification: 26A33, 45K05, 35A05, 35S10, 35S15, 33E12In the present paper the Cauchy problem for partial inhomogeneous pseudo-differential equations of fractional order is analyzed. The solvability theorem for the Cauchy problem in the space ΨG,2(R^n) of functions in L2(R^n) whose Fourier transforms are compactly supported in a domain G ⊆ R^n is proved. The representation of the solution in terms of pseudo-differential operators is given. The solvability theorem in the Sobolev...
