Solution of a modified fractional diffusion equation

Recently, a modified fractional diffusion equation has been proposed [I. Sokolov, J. Klafter, From diffusion to anomalous diffusion: a century after Einstein's brownian motion, Chaos 15 (2005) 026103; A.V. Chechkin, R. Gorenflo, I.M. Sokolov, V.Yu. Gonchar, Distributed order time fractional diffusion equation, Frac. Calc. Appl. Anal. 6 (3) (2003) 259279; I.M. Sokolov, A.V. Checkin, J. Klafter, Distributed-order fractional kinetics, Acta. Phys. Pol. B 35 (2004) 1323.] for describing processes that become less anomalous as time progresses by the inclusion of a second fractional time derivative acting on the diffusion term. In this letter we give the solution of the modified equation on an infinite domain. In contrast to the solution of the traditional fractional diffusion equation, the solution of the modified equation requires an infinite series of Fox functions instead of a single Fox function.
