This book systematically presents solutions to the linear time-fractional diffusion-wave equation.It introduces the integral transform technique and discusses the properties of the Mittag-Leffler, Wright, and Mainardi functions that appear in the solutions. The time-nonlocal dependence between the flux and the gradient of the transported quantity with the long-tail power kernel results in the time-fractional diffusion-wave equation with the Caputo fractional derivative. Time-nonlocal generalizations of classical Fourier s, Fick s and Darcy s laws are considered and different kinds of...
