DISCRETE FRACTIONAL DIFFUSION MODEL WITH TWO MEMORY TERMS

ABSTRACT
Fractional calculus can always exactly describe anomalous diffusion. Recently
the discrete fractional difference is becoming popular due to the depiction of
non-linear evolution on discrete time domains. This paper proposes a diffusion
model with two terms of discrete fractional order. The numerical simulation is
given to reveal various diffusion behaviors.
KEYWORDS
discrete fractional diffusion equation of two terms, discrete fractional difference
