Abstract
We consider the analytical solutions of multi-term time-space fractional reaction-diffusion equations on an infinite domain. The results are presented in a compact and elegant form in terms of the Mittag-Leffler functions. The importance of the derived results lies in the fact that numerous results on fractional reaction, fractional diffusion, fractional wave problems, and fractional telegraph equations scattered in the literature can be derived as special cases of the results presented in this paper.
