Continuous-time random walk with a superheavy-tailed distribution of waiting times.

چکیده
We study the long-time behavior of the probability density associated with the decoupled continuous-time random walk which is characterized by a superheavy-tailed distribution of waiting times. It is shown that, if the random walk is unbiased (biased) and the jump distribution has a finite second moment, then the properly scaled probability density converges in the long-time limit to a symmetric two-sided (an asymmetric one-sided) exponential density. The convergence occurs in such a way that all the moments of the probability density grow slower than any power of time. As a consequence, the reference random walk can be viewed as a generic model of superslow diffusion. A few examples of superheavy-tailed distributions of waiting times that give rise to qualitatively different laws of superslow diffusion are considered.

Asymptotic solutions of decoupled continuous-time random walks with superheavy-tailed waiting time and heavy-tailed jump length distributions.
We study the long-time behavior of decoupled continuous-time random walks characterized by superheavy-tailed distributions of waiting times and symmetric heavy-tailed distributions of jump lengths. Our main quantity of interest is the limiting probability density of the position of the walker multiplied by a scaling function of time. We show that the probability density of the scaled walker pos...
متن کاملCoupled continuous time random walks in finance
Continuous time random walks (CTRWs) are used in physics to model anomalous diffusion, by incorporating a random waiting time between particle jumps. In finance, the particle jumps are log-returns and the waiting times measure delay between transactions. These two random variables (log-return and waiting time) are typically not independent. For these coupled CTRW models, we can now compute the ...

Continuous time random walks impose a random waiting time before each particle jump. Scaling limits of heavy tailed continuous time random walks are governed by fractional evolution equations. Space-fractional derivatives describe heavy tailed jumps, and the time-fractional version codes heavy tailed waiting times. This paper develops scaling limits and governing equations in the case of correl...
متن کاملFractional brownian motion versus the continuous-time random walk: a simple test for subdiffusive dynamics.
Fractional Brownian motion with Hurst index less then 1/2 and continuous-time random walk with heavy tailed waiting times (and the corresponding fractional Fokker-Planck equation) are two different processes that lead to a subdiffusive behavior widespread in complex systems. We propose a simple test, based on the analysis of the so-called p variations, which allows distinguishing between the tw...
