On a Boundary-Initial Value Problem for Fractional Differential Equation with Sequential Caputo derivatives

In this paper, we investigate a fractional differential equation involving sequential Caputo derivatives, motivated by recent research on fractional models with multiple memory effects. Using techniques inspired by earlier works on sequential fractional operators, we derive the exact analytic solution of the problem in terms of the bivariate Mittag-Leffler function. Additionally, several useful properties of the bivariate Mittag-Leffler function are formulated to support the solution construction. Furthermore, we develop a numerical scheme using a sequential reformulation and the L1-finite element method.
