An initial-boundary problem for a mixed fractional wave equation

Abstract

We aim to prove a unique solvability of an initial-boundary value problem (IBVP) for a time-fractional wave equation in a rectangular domain. We exploit the spectral expansion method as the main tool and used the solution to Cauchy problems for fractional-order differential equations. Moreover, we apply certain properties of the Mittag-Leffler-type functions of single and two variables to prove the uniform convergence of the solution to the considered problem, represented in the form of infinite series.
