Abstract
The semi-linear problem of a fractional diffusion equation with the Caputo-like counterpart of a hyper-Bessel differential is considered. The results on existence, uniqueness and regularity estimates (local well-posedness) of the solutions are established in the case of linear source and the source functions that satisfy the globally Lipschitz conditions. Moreover, we prove that the problem exists a unique positive solution. In addition, the unique continuation of solutions and a finite-time blow-up are proposed with the reaction terms are logarithmic functions.
