Anomalous Diffusion Schemes Underlying the Stretched Exponential Relaxation. the Role of Subordinators

چکیده
Beginning with stochastic formulation [1] of transport phenomena in terms of a continuous-time random-walk (CTRW), the physical community showed a steady interest in the anomalous diffusion, i.e., a diffusion that appears in absence of the second/first moments of the spatio-temporal random-walk jump parameters and with scaling different than that of the classical Gaussian diffusion. Such an attempt to transport phenomena was

Anomalous relaxation in complex systems: from stretched to compressed exponentials
We attempt to give a bird’s eye view of the physical mechanisms leading to anomalous relaxation, and the relation of this phenomenon with anomalous diffusion and transport. Whereas in some cases these two notions are indeed deeply related, this needs not to be the case. We review several models for stretched exponential relaxation (diffusion in traps, broad distribution of relaxation times, two...
متن کاملAnomalous diffusion with transient subordinators: a link to compound relaxation laws.
This paper deals with a problem of transient anomalous diffusion which is currently found to emerge from a wide range of complex processes. The nonscaling behavior of such phenomena reflects changes in time-scaling exponents of the mean-squared displacement through time domain - a more general picture of the anomalous diffusion observed in nature. Our study is based on the identification of som...
متن کاملRelaxation and diffusion in a globally coupled Hamiltonian system.
The relation between relaxation and diffusion is investigated in a Hamiltonian system of globally coupled rotators. Diffusion is anomalous if and only if the system is going towards equilibrium. The anomaly in diffusion is not anomalous diffusion taking a power-type function, but is a transient anomaly due to nonstationarity. For a certain type of initial condition, in quasistationary states, d...
متن کاملAnomalous and anisotropic nanoscale diffusion of hydration water molecules in fluid lipid membranes.
We have studied nanoscale diffusion of membrane hydration water in fluid-phase lipid bilayers made of 1,2-dimyristoyl-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) using incoherent quasi-elastic neutron scattering. Dynamics were fit directly in the energy domain using the Fourier transform of a stretched exponential. By using large, 2-dimensional detectors, lateral motions of water molecules and motions perpendicula...
متن کاملAsymptotics for the survival probability of a Rouse chain monomer
Abstract. We study the long-time asymptotical behavior of the survival probability Pt of a tagged monomer of an infinitely long Rouse chain in presence of two fixed absorbing boundaries, placed at x = ±L. Mean-square displacement of a tagged monomer obeys X2(t) ∼ t at all times, which signifies that its dynamics is an anomalous diffusion process. Constructing lower and upper bounds on Pt, which...
