AbstractIn the paper, maximum principle for the generalized time-fractional diffusion equations including the multi-term diffusion equation and the diffusion equation of distributed order is formulated and discussed. In these equations, the time-fractional derivative is defined in the Caputo sense. In contrast to the Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative, the Caputo fractional derivative is shown to possess a suitable generalization of the extremum principle well-known for ordinary derivative. As an application, the maximum principle is used to get some a priori estimates for solutions of initial-boundary-value problems for the generalized time-fractional diffusion equations and then to prove uniqueness of their solutions.

In this paper, the maximum principle of variable-order fractional diffusion equations and the estimates of fractional derivatives with higher variable order are investigated. Firstly, we deduce the fractional derivative of a function of higher variable order at an arbitrary point. We also give an estimate of the error. Some important inequalities for fractional derivatives of variable order at arbitrary points and extreme points are presented. Then, the maximum principles of Riesz-Caputo fractional differential equations in terms of the multi-term space-time variable order are proved. Finally, under the initial-boundary value conditions, it is verified via the proposed principle that the solutions are unique, and their continuous dependance holds.

AbstractTwo significant inequalities for generalized time fractional derivatives at extreme points are obtained. Then, we apply the inequalities to establish the maximum principles for multi-term time-space fractional variable-order operators. Finally, we employ the principles to investigate two kinds of diffusion equations involving generalized time-fractional Caputo derivatives and space-fractional Riesz-Caputo derivatives.

AbstractThe strong maximum principle is a remarkable property of parabolic equations, which is expected to be partly inherited by fractional diffusion equations. Based on the corresponding weak maximum principle, in this paper we establish a strong maximum principle for time-fractional diffusion equations with Caputo derivatives, which is slightly weaker than that for the parabolic case. As a direct application, we give a uniqueness result for a related inverse source problem on the determination of the temporal component of the inhomogeneous term.
