Sobolev spaces and trace theorems for time-fractional evolution equations

We establish trace and extension theorems for evolutionary equations with the Caputo fractional derivatives in (weighted) $L_p$ spaces. To achieve this, we identify weighted Sobolev and Besov spaces with mixed norms that accommodate solution spaces and their initial values well-suited for equations involving time-fractional derivatives. Our analysis encompasses both time-fractional sub-diffusion and super-diffusion equations. We also provide observations on the initial behavior of solutions to time-fractional equations.
