Explicit Solutions to Fractional Stefan-like problems for Caputo and Riemann-Liouville Derivatives

Two fractional two-phase Stefan-like problems are considered by using Riemann-Liouville and Caputo derivatives of order $α\in (0, 1)$ verifying that they coincide with the same classical Stefan problem at the limit case when $α=1$. For both problems, explicit solutions in terms of the Wright functions are presented. Even though the similarity of the two solutions, a proof that they are different is also given. The convergence when $α\nearrow 1$ of the one and the other solutions to the same classical solution is given. Numerical examples for the dimensionless version of the problem are also presented and analyzed.
