Fractional diffusion and parametric subordination
-
Rudolf Gorenflo
and Francesco Mainardi
Abstract
In this chapter, we consider simulation of spatially one-dimensional spacetime fractional diffusion. After a survey on the operators entering the basic fractional equation via Fourier-Laplace manipulations, we obtain the subordination integral formula that teaches us how a particle path can be constructed by first generating the operational time from the physical time and then generating in operational time the spatial path. By inverting the generation of operational time from physical time, we arrive at the method of parametric subordination.
