Abstract :

In the recent paper, we give a formal solution of a certain one dimensional time fractional homogeneous conduction heat equation. This equation and its solution impose a rise to new forms of generalized fractional calculus. The new solution involves the Lauricella hypergeometric function of the third type. This type of functions is utilized to explain the probability of thermal transmission in random media. We introduce the analytic form of the thermal distribution related to such Lauricella function.
