TL;DR
This work develops a Green-function framework for a time-fractional boundary-value problem driven by the Prabhakar derivative ${}^{PRL}D_{0t}^{\alpha,\beta,\gamma,\delta}$. By reducing the PDE to a first-order system and then to a Volterra integral equation, the authors construct a Green's function built from the Prabhakar kernel $\omega$ and a periodized kernel $W$, yielding a closed-form integral representation for the solution $u(t,x)$ in terms of boundary data and the source term $f$. They prove the existence and uniqueness of a regular solution on the rectangle $D=\{(t,x):0<t<T,0<x<a\}$ and provide explicit representations for the Green's functions $G$ and $G_s$, enabling analysis of boundary and inverse problems for Prabhakar-type fractional PDEs. The approach extends classical Green-function techniques to a broad class of fractional operators and furnishes analytical tools for future study of Prabhakar-type diffusion and diffusion–wave processes. Overall, this work bridges fractional calculus with boundary-value problem methods, offering rigorous solutions and kernels that can support numerical methods and inverse problems in systems with memory effects.
Abstract
We investigate a first boundary value problem for a second-order partial differential equation involving the Prabhakar fractional derivative in time. Using structural properties of the Prabhakar kernel and generalized Mittag-Leffler functions, we reduce the problem to a Volterra type integral equation. This reduction enables the explicit construction of the corresponding Green's function. Based on the obtained Green's function, we derive a closed-form integral representation of the solution and prove its existence and uniqueness. The results extend classical Green-function techniques to a wider class of fractional operators and provide analytical tools for further study of boundary and inverse problems associated with Prabhakar-type fractional differential equations.
