On a connection between powers of operators and fractional Cauchy problems

Article

Abstract

Many phenomena in mathematical physics and in the theory of stochastic processes are recently described through fractional evolution equations. We investigate a general framework for connections between ordinary non-homogeneous equations in Banach spaces and fractional Cauchy problems. When the underlying operator generates a strongly continuous semigroup, it is known, using a subordination argument, that the fractional evolution equation is well posed. In this case, we provide an explicit form of the solution involving special functions, one example being the Airy function.
