Basic boundary-value problems for one equation with fractional derivatives

Abstract

We prove some properties of solutions of an equation $\cfrac{\partial^{2\alpha}u}{\partial x_1^{2\alpha}} + \cfrac{\partial^{2\alpha}u}{\partial x_2^{2\alpha}} + \cfrac{\partial^{2\alpha}u}{\partial x_3^{2\alpha}} = 0, \quad \alpha \in \left( \cfrac 12\, ; 1 \right ]$, in a domain $\Omega \subset R^3$ which are similar to the properties of harmonic functions. By using the potential method, we investigate principal boundary-value problems for this equation.
