Self-reinforcing directionality generates truncated Lévy walks without the power-law assumption

چکیده

We introduce a persistent random walk model with finite velocity and self-reinforcing directionality, which explains how exponentially distributed runs self-organize into truncated L\'evy walks observed in active intracellular transport by Chen et al. [Nature Mater., 14, 589 (2015)]. derive the nonhomogeneous space time, hyperbolic partial differential equation for probability density function (PDF) of particle position. This PDF exhibits bimodal (aggregation phenomena) superdiffusive regime, is not classical linear models. find exact solutions first second moments criteria transition to superdiffusion.

Power-law random walks.

In this paper, random walks with independent steps distributed according to a Q-power-law probability distribution function with Q=1/(1-q) are studied. In the case q>1, we show that (i) a stochastic representation of the location of the walk after n steps can be explicitly given (for both finite and infinite variance) and (ii) a clear connection with the superstatistics framework can be establi...

Upper-truncated Power Law Distributions

Power law cumulative number-size distributions are widely used to describe the scaling properties of data sets and to establish scale invariance. We derive the relationships between the scaling exponents of non-cumulative and cumulative number-size distributions for linearly binned and logarithmically binned data. Cumulative number-size distributions for data sets of many natural phenomena exhi...

Truncated Lévy walks are expected beyond the scale of data collection when correlated random walks embody observed movement patterns.

Translating observations taken at small spatio-temporal scales into expected patterns at greater scales is a major challenge in spatial ecology because there is typically insufficient relevant information. Here, it is shown that truncated Lévy walks are the most conservative, maximally non-committal description of movement patterns beyond the scale of data collection when correlated random walk...

Infinite densities for Lévy walks.

Motion of particles in many systems exhibits a mixture between periods of random diffusive-like events and ballistic-like motion. In many cases, such systems exhibit strong anomalous diffusion, where low-order moments 〈|x(t)|(q)〉 with q below a critical value q(c) exhibit diffusive scaling while for q>q(c) a ballistic scaling emerges. The mixed dynamics constitutes a theoretical challenge since...

Lévy walks with velocity fluctuations.

The standard Lévy walk is performed by a particle that moves ballistically between randomly occurring collisions when the intercollision time is a random variable governed by a power-law distribution. During instantaneous collision events, the particle randomly changes the direction of motion but maintains the same constant speed. We generalize the standard model to incorporate velocity fluctua...
