Abstract

Different forms of diffusion equations on fractals proposed in the literature are reviewed and critically discussed. Variants of the known fractional diffusion equations are suggested here and worked out analytically. On the basis of these results we conclude that the quest: "what is the form of the diffusion equation on fractals," is still open, but we are possibly close to obtaining a satisfactory answer.
