An Alternative Method for Solving a Certain Class of Fractional Kinetic Equations
An alternative method for solving the fractional kinetic equations solved
earlier by Haubold and Mathai (2000) and Saxena et al. (2002, 2004a, 2004b) is
recently given by Saxena and Kalla (2007). This method can also be applied in
solving more general fractional kinetic equations than the ones solved by the
aforesaid authors. In view of the usefulness and importance of the kinetic
equation in certain physical problems governing reaction-diffusion in complex
systems and anomalous diffusion, the authors present an alternative simple
method for deriving the solution of the generalized forms of the fractional
kinetic equations solved by the aforesaid authors and Nonnenmacher and Metzler
(1995). The method depends on the use of the Riemann-Liouville fractional
calculus operators. It has been shown by the application of Riemann-Liouville
fractional integral operator and its interesting properties, that the solution
of the given fractional kinetic equation can be obtained in a straight-forward
manner. This method does not make use of the Laplace transform.Comment: 7 pages, LaTe
