Signalling Problem and Dirichlet-Neumann map for time-fractional diffusion-wave equations

Abstract: The time-fractional, spatially one-dimensional, diffusion-wave equation is considered. For the Dirichlet and the Neumann condition prescribed on the boundary of the spatial positive half-line and zero-initial condition at the origin of time the solutions are derived via the method of Laplace transforms, and it is shown that the Dirichlet-Neumann map is given by a time-fractional differential operator whose order is (in analogy to the cases of the classical diffusion and wave equation) half the order of the time-fractional derivative.
