Lévy flights of photons with infinite mean free path

چکیده
Multiple scattering of light by resonant vapor is characterized L\'evy-type superdiffusion with a single-step size distribution $p(x)\ensuremath{\propto}1/{x}^{1+\ensuremath{\alpha}}$. We investigate L\'evy flight in hot rubidium collisional-broadened 50 torr He gas. The frequent collisions produce Lorentzian absorptive and emissive profiles $\ensuremath{\alpha}<1$ corresponding divergent mean step size. extract the parameter $\ensuremath{\alpha}\ensuremath{\approx}0.5$ multiple-scattering regime from radial profile transmission violation Ohm's law. measured total diffusive curves are well reproduced numerical simulations for line shapes.

Crime Modeling with Lévy Flights
The UCLA burglary hotspot model, introduced in [M. B. Short, M. R. D’Orsogna, V. B. Pasour, G. E. Tita, P. J. Brantingham, A. L. Bertozzi, and L. B. Chayes, Math. Models Methods Appl. Sci., 18 (2008), pp. 1249–1267], models the formation of hotspots of criminal activity. In this paper, we extend the UCLA model to incorporate a more realistic model of human locomotion. The movement of the crimin...
متن کاملSlow Lévy flights.
Among Markovian processes, the hallmark of Lévy flights is superdiffusion, or faster-than-Brownian dynamics. Here we show that Lévy laws, as well as Gaussian distributions, can also be the limit distributions of processes with long-range memory that exhibit very slow diffusion, logarithmic in time. These processes are path dependent and anomalous motion emerges from frequent relocations to alre...
متن کاملLévy flights in random environments.
We consider Lévy flights characterized by the step index f in a quenched random force field. By means of a dynamic renormalization group analysis we find that the dynamic exponent z for f < 2 locks onto f , independent of dimension and independent of the presence of weak quenched disorder. The critical dimension, however, depends on the step index f for f < 2 and is given by dc = 2f − 2. For d ...
متن کاملSearch in Random Media with Lévy Flights
Our work on the subject of search has been motivated by a variety of applications in engineering and technology, and it differs from the physicists’ motivation for such problems, e.g., or the motivation provided by biochemistry, and in theoretical biology . One of our reasons for a more fundamental approach to search comes from the area of traffic routing in wired networks where each end user m...
متن کاملLévy flights in inhomogeneous media.
We investigate the impact of external periodic potentials on superdiffusive random walks known as Lévy flights and show that even strongly superdiffusive transport is substantially affected by the external field. Unlike ordinary random walks, Lévy flights are surprisingly sensitive to the shape of the potential while their asymptotic behavior ceases to depend on the Lévy index mu. Our analysis ...
