Reaction-diffusion systems and nonlinear waves
The authors investigate the solution of a nonlinear reaction-diffusion
equation connected with nonlinear waves. The equation discussed is more general
than the one discussed recently by Manne, Hurd, and Kenkre (2000). The results
are presented in a compact and elegant form in terms of Mittag-Leffler
functions and generalized Mittag-Leffler functions, which are suitable for
numerical computation. The importance of the derived results lies in the fact
that numerous results on fractional reaction, fractional diffusion, anomalous
diffusion problems, and fractional telegraph equations scattered in the
literature can be derived, as special cases, of the results investigated in
this article.Comment: LaTeX, 16 pages, corrected typo
Solution of generalized fractional reaction-diffusion equations
This paper deals with the investigation of a closed form solution of a
generalized fractional reaction-diffusion equation. The solution of the
proposed problem is developed in a compact form in terms of the H-function by
the application of direct and inverse Laplace and Fourier transforms.
Fractional order moments and the asymptotic expansion of the solution are also
obtained.Comment: LaTeX, 18 pages, corrected typo
Exceptional Laguerre and Jacobi polynomials and the corresponding potentials through Darboux-Crum Transformations
Simple derivation is presented of the four families of infinitely many shape
invariant Hamiltonians corresponding to the exceptional Laguerre and Jacobi
polynomials. Darboux-Crum transformations are applied to connect the well-known
shape invariant Hamiltonians of the radial oscillator and the
Darboux-P\"oschl-Teller potential to the shape invariant potentials of
Odake-Sasaki. Dutta and Roy derived the two lowest members of the exceptional
Laguerre polynomials by this method. The method is expanded to its full
generality and many other ramifications, including the aspects of generalised
Bochner problem and the bispectral property of the exceptional orthogonal
polynomials, are discussed.Comment: LaTeX2e with amsmath, amssymb, amscd 26 pages, no figure
Fractional reaction-diffusion equations
In a series of papers, Saxena, Mathai, and Haubold (2002, 2004a, 2004b)
derived solutions of a number of fractional kinetic equations in terms of
generalized Mittag-Leffler functions which provide the extension of the work of
Haubold and Mathai (1995, 2000). The subject of the present paper is to
investigate the solution of a fractional reaction-diffusion equation. The
results derived are of general nature and include the results reported earlier
by many authors, notably by Jespersen, Metzler, and Fogedby (1999) for
anomalous diffusion and del-Castillo-Negrete, Carreras, and Lynch (2003) for
reaction-diffusion systems with L\'evy flights. The solution has been developed
in terms of the H-function in a compact form with the help of Laplace and
Fourier transforms. Most of the results obtained are in a form suitable for
numerical computation.Comment: LaTeX, 17 pages, corrected typo
