Long time asymptotics of a Brownian particle coupled with a random environment with non-diffusive feedback force
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the long time behavior of a Brownian particle moving in an anomalously diffusing field, the evolution of which depends on the particle position. We prove that the process describing the asymptotic behavior of the Brownian particle has bounded (in time) variance when the particle interacts with a subdiffusive field; when the interaction is with a superdiffusive field the variance of the limiting process grows in time as t2γ−1, 1/2 < γ < 1. Two different kinds of superdiffusing (random) environments are considered: one is described through the use of the fractional Laplacian; the other via the Riemann–Liouville fractional integral. The subdiffusive field is modeled through the Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative. c ⃝ 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

A Brownian Motion Version of the Directed Polymer Problem
Consider a Brownian particle in three dimensions in a random environment. The environment is determined by a potential random in space and time. It is shown that at small noise the large-time behavior of the particle is diffusive. The diffusion constant depends on the environment. This work generalizes previous results for random walk in a random environment. In these results the diffusion cons...
متن کاملDiffusive Behavior for Randomly Kicked Newtonian Particles in a Spatially Periodic Medium
We prove a central limit theorem for the momentum distribution of a particle undergoing an unbiased spatially periodic random forcing at exponentially distributed times without friction. The start is a linear Boltzmann equation for the phase space density, where the average energy of the particle grows linearly in time. Rescaling time, the momentum converges to a Brownian motion, and the positi...
متن کاملSingle-particle motion in colloids: force-induced diffusion
We study the fluctuating motion of a Brownian-sized probe particle as it is dragged by a constant external force through a colloidal dispersion. In this nonlinearmicrorheology problem, collisions between the probe and the background bath particles, in addition to thermal fluctuations of the solvent, drive a long-time diffusive spread of the probe’s trajectory. The influence of the former is det...
متن کاملSuperdiffusive trajectories in Brownian motion.
The Brownian motion of a microscopic particle in a fluid is one of the cornerstones of statistical physics and the paradigm of a random process. One of the most powerful tools to quantify it was provided by Langevin, who explicitly accounted for a short-time correlated "thermal" force. The Langevin picture predicts ballistic motion, ~t(2) at short-time scales, and diffusive motion ~...
متن کاملDiffusive behavior of a thin particle layer in fluid by hydrodynamic interaction.
The hydrodynamic effect on a thin particle layer, which moves relative to fluid by an external force, is investigated theoretically and numerically. Because of the presence of layer ends, the arrangement of particles in the layer is anisotropic and the drag force acting on them varies according to the position. The resulting relative motion of particles brings about the spreading of the layer. ...
