On a non-local problem for a multi-term fractional diffusion-wave equation

Abstract

This paper deals with the multi-term generalisation of the time-fractional diffusion-wave equation for general operators with discrete spectrum, as well as for positive hypoelliptic operators, with homogeneous multi-point time-nonlocal conditions. Several examples of the settings where our nonlocal problems are applicable are given. The results for the discrete spectrum are also applied to treat the case of general homogeneous hypoelliptic left-invariant differential operators on general graded Lie groups, by using the representation theory of the group. For all these problems, we show the existence, uniqueness, and the explicit representation formulae for the solutions.
