چکیده

We study Lévy walks in quenched disordered one-dimensional media, with scatterers spaced according to a long-tailed distribution. By analyzing the scaling relations for the random-walk probability and for the resistivity in the equivalent electric problem, we obtain the asymptotic behavior of the mean-square displacement as a function of the exponent characterizing the scatterers distribution. We demonstrate that in quenched media different average procedures can display different asymptotic behavior. In particular, we estimate the moments of the displacement averaged over processes starting from scattering sites. Our results are compared with numerical simulations, with excellent agreement.

Scattering lengths and universality in superdiffusive Lévy materials.

We study the effects of scattering lengths on Lévy walks in quenched, one-dimensional random and fractal quasilattices, with scatterers spaced according to a long-tailed distribution. By analyzing the scaling properties of the random-walk probability distribution, we show that the effect of the varying scattering length can be reabsorbed in the multiplicative coefficient of the scaling length. ...

Scaling Limit for Trap Models on Z

We give the " quenched " scaling limit of Bouchaud's trap model in d ≥ 2. This scaling limit is the fractional-kinetics process, that is the time change of a d-dimensional Brownian motion by the inverse of an independent α-stable subordinator. 1. Introduction. This work establishes scaling limits for certain important models of trapped random walks on Z d. More precisely we show that Bouchaud's...

Transport and scaling in quenched two- and three-dimensional Lévy quasicrystals.

We consider correlated Lévy walks on a class of two- and three-dimensional deterministic self-similar structures, with correlation between steps induced by the geometrical distribution of regions, featuring different diffusion properties. We introduce a geometric parameter α, playing a role analogous to the exponent characterizing the step-length distribution in random systems. By a single-long...

Scaling forms of particle densities for Lévy walks and strong anomalous diffusion.

We study the scaling behavior of particle densities for Lévy walks whose transition length r is coupled with the transition time t as |r|∝t^{α} with an exponent α>0. The transition-time distribution behaves as ψ(t)∝t^{-1-β} with β>0. For 1<β<2α and α≥1, particle displacements are characterized by a finite transition time and confinement to |r|<t^{α} while the marginal distribution of transition...

Average persistence of random walks

– We study the first passage time properties of an integrated Brownian curve both in homogeneous and disordered environments. In a disordered medium we relate the scaling properties of this center-of-mass persistence of a random walker to the average persistence, the latter being the probability Ppr(t) that the expectation value 〈x(t)〉 of the walker’s position after time t has not returned to t...
