【 摘 要 】
We investigate a class of fractional time-partial differential equations describing the dynamics of the fast action potential process in contractile myocytes. The system is explored in both one and two dimensional cases. Homogeneous and nonhomogeneous solutions are derived. We also numerically simulate some of the proposed fractional solutions to provide a different modeling perspective on distinct phases of cardiac membrane potential. Results indicate that the fractional diffusion-wave equation may be employed to model membrane potential dynamics with the fractional order working as an extra asset to modulate electricity conduction, particularly for lower fractional order values.
