Numerical evidence of nondiffusive transport in three-dimensional, resistive pressure-gradient-driven plasma turbulence is presented. It is shown that the probability density function (pdf) of tracer particles' radial displacements is strongly non-Gaussian and exhibits algebraic decaying tails. To model these results we propose a macroscopic transport model for the pdf based on the use of fract...

By space-fractional (or L evy-Feller) diiusion processes we mean the processes governed by a generalized diiusion equation which generates all L evy stable probability distributions with index (0 < 2), including the two symmetric most popular laws, Cauchy (= 1) and Gauss (= 2). This generalized equation is obtained from the standard linear diiusion equation by replacing the second-order space d...

The Liouville and first Bogoliubov hierarchy equations with derivatives of noninteger order are derived. The fractional Liouville equation is obtained from the conservation of probability to find a system in a fractional volume element. This equation is used to obtain Bogoliubov hierarchy and fractional kinetic equations with fractional derivatives. Statistical mechanics of fractional generaliz...

The Mellin transform is usually applied in probability theory to the product of independent random variables. In recent times the machinery of the Mellin transform has been adopted to describe the Lévy stable distributions, and more generally the probability distributions governed by generalized diffusion equations of fractional order in space and/or in time. In these cases the related stochast...

In this paper, we study a parametric class of stochastic processes to model both fast and slow anomalous diffusions. This class, called generalized grey Brownian motion (ggBm), is made up of self-similar with stationary increments processes (H-sssi) and depends on two real parameters α ∈ (0, 2) and β ∈ (0, 1]. It includes fractional Brownian motion when α ∈ (0, 2) and β = 1, and time-fractional...

Fractional derivatives and integrals are convolutions with a power law. Multiplying by an exponential factor leads to tempered fractional derivatives and integrals. Tempered fractional diffusion equations, where the usual second derivative in space is replaced by a tempered fractional derivative, govern the limits of random walk models with an exponentially tempered power law jump distribution....

In this paper, the one-dimensional α-fractional diffusion equation is revisited. This equation is a particular case of the timeand space-fractional diffusion equation with the quotient of the orders of the timeand space-fractional derivatives equal to one-half. First, some integral representations of its fundamental solution including the Mellin-Barnes integral representation are derived. Then ...

the aim of this paper is to study the high order difference scheme for the solution of a fractional partial differential equation (pde) in the electroanalytical chemistry. the space fractional derivative is described in the riemann-liouville sense. in the proposed scheme we discretize the space derivative with a fourth-order compact scheme and use the grunwald- letnikov discretization of the ri...

in this paper, a new fractional sub-equation method is proposed for finding exact solutions of fractional partial differential equations (fpdes) in the sense of modified riemann-liouville derivative. with the aid of symbolic computation, we choose the space-time fractional zakharov-kuznetsov-benjamin-bona-mahony (zkbbm) equation in mathematical physics with a source to illustrate the validity a...

{ Fractional calculus allows to generalize the standard (linear and one dimensional) diiusion equation by replacing the second-order space derivative by a derivative of fractional order. If this is taken as the pseudo-diierential operator introduced by Feller in 1952 the fundamental solution of the resulting diiusion equation is a probability density evolving in time and stable in the sense of ...
