This paper is devoted to diffusion limits of linear Boltzmann equations. When the equilibrium distribution function is Maxwellian distribution, it is well known that for an appropriate time scale, the small mean free path limit gives rise to a diffusion equation. In this paper, we consider situations in which the equilibrium distribution function is a heavy-tailed distribution with infinite variance. We then show that for an appropriate time scale, the small mean free path limit gives rise to a fractional diffusion equation.

Kinetic-transport equations that take into account the intra-cellular pathways are now considered as the correct description of bacterial chemotaxis by run and tumble. Recent mathematical studies have shown their interest and their relations to more standard models. Macroscopic equations of Keller-Segel type have been derived using parabolic scaling. Due to the randomness of receptor methylation or intra-cellular chemical reactions, noise occurs in the signaling pathways and affects the tumbling rate. Then, comes the question to understand the role of an internal noise on the behavior of the full population. In this paper we consider a kinetic model for chemotaxis which includes biochemical pathway with noises. We show that under proper scaling and conditions on the tumbling frequency as well as the form of noise, fractional diffusion can arise in the macroscopic limits of the kinetic equation. This gives a new mathematical theory about how long jumps can be due to the internal noise of the bacteria.
We consider an evolution equation with the Caputo-Dzhrbashyan fractional derivative of order $alpha in (1,2)$ with respect to the time variable, and the second order uniformly elliptic operator with variable coefficients acting in spatial variables. This equation describes the propagation of stress pulses in a viscoelastic medium. Its properties are intermediate between those of parabolic and hyperbolic equations. In this paper, we construct and investigate a fundamental solution of the Cauchy problem, prove existence and uniqueness theorems for such equations.
In this paper we obtain the precise description of the asymptotic behavior of the solution $u$ of $$ partial_t u+(-Delta)^{frac{theta}{2}}u=0quadmbox{in}quad{bf R}^Ntimes(0,infty), qquad u(x,0)=varphi(x)quadmbox{in}quad{bf R}^N, $$ where $0<theta<2$ and $varphiin L_K:=L^1({bf R}^N,,(1+|x|)^K,dx)$ with $Kge 0$. Furthermore, we develop the arguments in [15] and [18] and establish a method to obtain the asymptotic expansions of the solutions to a nonlinear fractional diffusion equation $$ partial_t u+(-Delta)^{frac{theta}{2}}u=|u|^{p-1}uquadmbox{in}quad{bf R}^Ntimes(0,infty), $$ where $0<theta<2$ and $p>1+theta/N$.
Given $(M,g)$, a compact connected Riemannian manifold of dimension $d geq 2$, with boundary $partial M$, we consider an initial boundary value problem for a fractional diffusion equation on $(0,T) times M$, $T>0$, with time-fractional Caputo derivative of order $alpha in (0,1) cup (1,2)$. We prove uniqueness in the inverse problem of determining the smooth manifold $(M,g)$ (up to an isometry), and various time-independent smooth coefficients appearing in this equation, from measurements of the solution on a subset of $partial M$ at fixed time. In the flat case where $M$ is a compact subset of $mathbb R^d$, two out the three coefficients $rho$ (weight), $a$ (conductivity) and $q$ (potential) appearing in the equation $rho partial_t^alpha u-textrm{div}(a abla u)+ q u=0$ on $(0,T)times Omega$ are recovered simultaneously.
We examine initial-boundary value problems for diffusion equations with distributed order time-fractional derivatives. We prove existence and uniqueness results for the weak solution to these systems, together with its continuous dependency on initial value and source term. Moreover, under suitable assumption on the source term, we establish that the solution is analytic in time.
