The operational solution of fractional-order differential equations, as well as Black–Scholes and heat-conduction equations

Abstract

Operational solutions to fractional-order ordinary differential equations and to partial differential equations of the Black–Scholes and of Fourier heat conduction type are presented. Inverse differential operators, integral transforms, and generalized forms of Hermite and Laguerre polynomials with several variables and indices are used for their solution. Examples of the solution of ordinary differential equations and extended forms of the Fourier, Schrödinger, Black–Scholes, etc. type partial differential equations using the operational method are given. Equations that contain the Laguerre derivative are considered. The application of the operational method for the solution of a number of physical problems connected with charge dynamics in the framework of quantum mechanics and heat propagation is demonstrated.
