A fractional diffusion equation based on Riemann−Liouville fractional derivatives is solved exactly. The initial values are given as fractional integrals. The solution is obtained in terms of H-functions. It differs from the known solution of fractional diffusion equations based on fractional integrals. The solution of fractional diffusion based on a Riemann−Liouville fractional time derivative does not admit a probabilistic interpretation in contrast with fractional diffusion based on fractional integrals. While the fractional initial value problem is well defined and the solution finite at all times, its values for t → 0 are divergent.
