Aging Random Walks
نویسنده
چکیده
Aging refers to the property of two-time correlation functions to decay very slowly on (at least) two time scales. This phenomenon has gained recent attention due to experimental observations of the history dependent relaxation behavior in amorphous materials (“Glasses”) which pose a challenge to theorist. Aging signals the breaking of time-translational invariance and the violation of the fluctuation dissipation theorem during the relaxation process. But while the origin of aging in disordered media is profound, and the discussion is clad in the language of a well-developed theory, systems as simple as a random walk near a wall can exhibit aging. Such a simple walk serves well to illustrate the phenomenon and some of the physics behind it.

Generalized (c, d)-Entropy and Aging Random Walks
Complex systems are often inherently non-ergodic and non-Markovian and Shannon entropy loses its applicability. Accelerating, path-dependent and aging random walks offer an intuitive picture for non-ergodic and non-Markovian systems. It was shown that the entropy of non-ergodic systems can still be derived from three of the Shannon–Khinchin axioms and by violating the fourth, the so-called comp...
متن کاملSlow relaxation dynamics and aging in random walks on activity driven temporal networks
We investigate the dynamic relaxation of random walks on temporal networks by focusing in the recently proposed activity driven model [Perra et al. Sci. Rep. srep00469 (2012)]. For realistic activity distributions with a power-law form, we observe the presence of a very slow relaxation dynamics compatible with aging effects. A theoretical description of this processes in achieved by means of a ...
متن کاملFractional Diffusion Equation for Aging and Equilibrated Random Walks
We consider continuous time random walks and discuss situations pertinent to aging. These correspond to the case when the initial state of the system is known not at preparation (at t = 0) but at the later instant of time t1 > 0 (intermediate-time initial condition). We derive the generalized aging diffusion equation for this case and express it through a single memory kernel. The results obtai...
متن کاملA PRELUDE TO THE THEORY OF RANDOM WALKS IN RANDOM ENVIRONMENTS
A random walk on a lattice is one of the most fundamental models in probability theory. When the random walk is inhomogenous and its inhomogeniety comes from an ergodic stationary process, the walk is called a random walk in a random environment (RWRE). The basic questions such as the law of large numbers (LLN), the central limit theorem (CLT), and the large deviation principle (LDP) are ...
متن کاملRandom walks with strongly inhomogeneous rates and singular diffusions: convergence, localization and aging in one dimension
Let τ = (τi : i ∈ Z) denote i.i.d. positive random variables with common distribution F and (conditional on τ) let X = (Xt : t ≥ 0, X0 = 0), be a continuous-time simple symmetric random walk on Z with inhomogeneous rates (τ i : i ∈ Z). When F is in the domain of attraction of a stable law of exponent α < 1 (so that E(τi) = ∞ and X is subdiffusive), we prove that (X, τ), suitably rescaled (in sp...
متن کاملAging in subdiffusion generated by a deterministic dynamical system.
We investigate aging behavior in a simple dynamical system: a nonlinear map which generates subdiffusion deterministically. Asymptotic behaviors of the diffusion process are described using aging continuous time random walks. We show how these processes are described by an aging diffusion equation which is of fractional order. Our work demonstrates that aging behavior can be found in determinis...
