Conservation laws for time-fractional subdiffusion and diffusion-wave equations

Abstract

A new technique for constructing conservation laws for fractional differential equations not having a Lagrangian is proposed. The technique is based on the methods of Lie group analysis and employs the concept of nonlinear self-adjointness which is enhanced to the certain class of fractional evolution equations. The proposed approach is demonstrated on subdiffusion and diffusion-wave equations with the Riemann–Liouville and Caputo time-fractional derivatives. It is shown that these equations are nonlinearly self-adjoint, and therefore, desired conservation laws can be calculated using the appropriate formal Lagrangians. The explicit forms of fractional generalizations of the Noether operators are also proposed for the equations with the Riemann–Liouville and Caputo time-fractional derivatives of order $$\alpha \in (0,2)$$. Using these operators and formal Lagrangians, new conservation laws are constructed for the linear and nonlinear time-fractional subdiffusion and diffusion-wave equations by their Lie point symmetries.
