Original Abstract

The paper discusses the problem of the classical and fractional diffusion models. It is known that the classical one fails in heterogeneous structures with locations where particles move with a large speed for a long distance. If we replace the second derivative in the space variable in the classical diffusion equation by a fractional derivative of order less than two, we obtain the fractional diffusion equation (FDE) which is more useful in this case. In this paper we introduce a discretization of FDE based on the theory of the difference fractional calculus and we sketch a basic numerical scheme of its solving. Finally, we present some examples comparing classical and fractional diffusion models.
