The entropy production paradox in the space-fractional diffusion equation case — •Janett Prehl1, Karl Heinz Hoffmann1, and Chris Essex2 — 1Institut für Physik, Technische Universität Chemnitz, D-09107 Chemnitz, Deutschland — 2Department of Applied Mathematics, The University of Western Ontario, London, Canada N6A 5B7
Contrary to intuition, entropy production rates grow as reversible, wave-like behavior is approached. This paradox was discovered in time-fractional diffusion equations. It was found to persist for extended entropies and for space-fractional diffusion as well. This paper completes the possibilities by showing that the paradox persists for Tsallis and Rényi entropies in the space-fractional case. Complications arising due to the heavy tail solutions of space-fractional diffusion equations are discussed in detail.
