Lévy walks

V Zaburdaev, S Denisov, J Klafter - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2015 - APS
Random walk is a fundamental concept with applications ranging from quantum physics to
econometrics. Remarkably, one specific model of random walks appears to be ubiquitous …

The continuous time random walk, still trendy: fifty-year history, state of art and outlook

R Kutner, J Masoliver - The European Physical Journal B, 2017 - Springer
In this article we demonstrate the very inspiring role of the continuous-time random walk
(CTRW) formalism, the numerous modifications permitted by its flexibility, its various …

Infinite ergodic theory for heterogeneous diffusion processes

N Leibovich, E Barkai - Physical Review E, 2019 - APS
We show the relation between processes which are modeled by a Langevin equation with
multiplicative noise and infinite ergodic theory. We concentrate on a spatially dependent …

Single-big-jump principle in physical modeling

A Vezzani, E Barkai, R Burioni - Physical Review E, 2019 - APS
The big-jump principle is a well-established mathematical result for sums of independent
and identically distributed random variables extracted from a fat-tailed distribution. It states …

Lévy flights versus Lévy walks in bounded domains

B Dybiec, E Gudowska-Nowak, E Barkai, AA Dubkov - Physical Review E, 2017 - APS
Lévy flights and Lévy walks serve as two paradigms of random walks resembling common
features but also bearing fundamental differences. One of the main dissimilarities is the …

[BOOK][B] Modeling anomalous diffusion: from statistics to mathematics

W Deng, R Hou, W Wang, P Xu - 2020 - World Scientific
Let us now consider the Fokker-Planck equation, which is a partial differential equation that
describes the time evolution of the PDF of the positions of particles, and was introduced in …

Continuous time persistent random walk: a review and some generalizations

J Masoliver, K Lindenberg - The European Physical Journal B, 2017 - Springer
We review some extensions of the continuous time random walk first introduced by Elliott
Montroll and George Weiss more than 50 years ago [EW Montroll, GH Weiss, J. Math. Phys …

From non-normalizable Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics to infinite-ergodic theory

E Aghion, DA Kessler, E Barkai - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
We study a particle immersed in a heat bath, in the presence of an external force which
decays at least as rapidly as 1/x, eg, a particle interacting with a surface through a Lennard …

Nonequilibrium phase transition to anomalous diffusion and transport in a basic model of nonlinear Brownian motion

I Goychuk, T Pöschel - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
We investigate a basic model of nonlinear Brownian motion in a thermal environment, where
nonlinear friction interpolates between viscous Stokes and dry Coulomb friction. We show …

Telegraphic transport processes and their fractional generalization: A review and some extensions

J Masoliver - Entropy, 2021 - mdpi.com
We address the problem of telegraphic transport in several dimensions. We review the
derivation of two and three dimensional telegrapher's equations—as well as their fractional …
