Diffusion regimes in Lévy flights with trapping
نویسندگان
چکیده
The diffusion of a walk in the presence of traps is investigated. Different diffusion regimes are obtained considering the magnitude of the fluctuations in waiting times and jump distances. A constant velocity during the jump motion is assumed to avoid the divergence of the mean squared displacement. Using the limit theorems of the theory of Lévy stable distributions we have provided a characterization of the different diffusion regimes.

Long-Tailed Trapping Times and Lévy Flights in a Self-Organized Critical Granular System
We present a continuous time random walk model for the scale-invariant transport found in a selforganized critical rice pile [K. Christensen et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 107 (1996)]. From our analytical results it is shown that the dynamics of the experiment can be explained in terms of Lévy flights for the grains and a long-tailed distribution of trapping times. Scaling relations for the expon...
متن کاملThe Symmetric Stable Lévy Flights and the Feynman Path Integral
We determine the solution of the fractional spatial diffusion equation in n-dimensional Euclidean space for a “free” particle by computing the corresponding propagator. We employ both the Hamiltonian and Lagrangian approaches which produce exact results for the case of jumps governed by symmetric stable Lévy flights.

Let L(t) be a Lévy flights process with a stability index α ∈ (0, 2), and U be an external multiwell potential. A jump-diffusion Z satisfying a stochastic differential equation dZ(t) = −U ′(Z(t−))dt+ σ(t)dL(t) describes an evolution of a Lévy particle of an ‘instant temperature’ σ(t) in an external force field. The temperature is supposed to decrease polynomially fast, i.e. σ(t) ≈ t for some θ ...

Diffusion processes of atoms, molecules, and clusters on solid surfaces continue to be subjects of active research of basic and technological interest (e.g., in the areas of film growth and catalysis), and a source of discovery pertaining to diffusional energetics and mechanisms [1]. In particular, enhanced diffusion rates of adsorbed small metal clusters containing up to ,10 atoms have been ob...
