Continuous time random walk and time fractional diffusion: A numerical comparison between the fundamental solutions

摘要

We consider the basic models for anomalous transport provided by the integral equation for continuous time random walk (CTRW) and by the time fractional diffusion equation to which the previous equation is known to reduce in the diffusion limit. We compare the corresponding fundamental solutions of these equations, in order to investigate numerically the increasing quality of approximation with advancing time.
