The coupled fractional equations have appeared as model equation in mathematical physics,
which is derived by Esipov [32]. It is very significant that the system is a simple model of
sedimentation or evolution of scaled volume concentrations of two kinds of particles in fluid
suspensions or colloids, under the effect of gravity [33]. The constants
L
and
M
depend on the
system parameters such as the Peclet number, the Stokes velocity of particles due to gravity, and
the Brownian diffusivity.
One can introduce the following transformation

By substituting eq. (29) into eq. (28) and using (7) frequently, one can obtain the following
system of algebraic equations by setting the coefficients of the polynomial in
