Fractional dynamics classical formulation

For systems that exhibit slow anomalous transport, the incorporation of external fields is in complete analogy to the existing Brownian framework which itself is included in the fractional formulation for the limit a —> 1 The FFPE (19) combines the linear competition of drift and diffusion of the classical Fokker-Planck equation with the prevalence of a new relaxation pattern. As we are going to show, also the solution methods for fractional equations are similar to the known methods from standard partial differential equations. However, the temporal behavior of systems ruled by fractional dynamics mirrors the self-similar nature of its nonlocal formulation, manifested in the Mittag-Leffler pattern dominating the system equilibration.
