Abstract: Abstract This chapter deals with the time fractional diffusion equationsfractional diffusion equation(s). In Sect. 2.1, we study a Cauchy problem for a space-time fractional diffusion equation with exponential nonlinearity. Based on the standard L p $$L^p$$ - L q $$L^q$$ estimates of strongly continuous semigroup generated by fractional Laplace operator, we investigate the existence of global solutions for initial data with small norm in the Orlicz space exp L p ( ℝ d ) $$\exp L^p({\mathbb R}^d)$$ and a time weighted L r ( ℝ d ) $$L^r({\mathbb R}^d)$$ space. In the framework of the Hölder interpolation inequality, we also discuss the existence of local solutions without the Orlicz space. Section 2.2 is devoted to the study of a semilinear diffusion problem with distributed order fractional derivative on ℝ N $$\mathbb R^N$$ , which can be used to characterize the ultraslow diffusion processes with time-dependent logarithmic law attenuation. We use the resolvents approach to present the local well-posednesswell-posedness of mild solutionsmild solution(s) belonging to L r ( ℝ N ) ( r > 2 ) $$L^r(\mathbb R^N)~(r>2)$$ , in which the L p $$L^p$$ - L q $$L^q$$ estimates and continuity of the operator are first established. Then, under the assumption on the initial value belonging to L p ( ℝ N ) $$L^p(\mathbb R^N)$$ , the global well-posednesswell-posedness of mild solutionsmild solution(s) is derived. Moreover, a decay estimate in L r $$L^r$$ -norm is included. Section 2.3 discusses an analysis of approximate controllabilityapproximate controllability from the exterior of distributed order fractional diffusion problem with the fractional Laplace operator subject to the nonzero exterior condition. We first establish some well-posednesswell-posedness results, such as the existenceexistence, uniquenessuniqueness, and regularityregularity of the solutions allowing the weighted function μ $$\mu $$ that may be noncontinuous. Especially, we show that the solutions can be represented by the series for the integral of a real-valued function. After giving the unique continuationcontinuation property of the adjoint system, approximate controllabilityapproximate controllability of the system is also included.
