Levy flights from a continuous-time process | | I.M. Sokolov

30 Jul 2000 | | Journal: | Phys. Rev E, vol. 63, 011104 (2001) | | Subject: | Statistical Mechanics | cond-mat.stat-mech | | Abstract: | The Levy-flight dynamics can stem from simple random walks in a system whose operational time (number of steps n) typically grows superlinearly with physical time t. Thus, this processes is a kind of continuous-time random walks (CTRW), dual to usual Scher-Montroll model, in which $n$ grows sublinearly with t. The models in which Levy-flights emerge due to a temporal subordination let easily discuss the response of a random walker to a weak outer force, which is shown to be nonlinear. On the other hand, the relaxation of en ensemble of such walkers in a harmonic potential follows a simple exponential pattern and leads to a normal Boltzmann distribution. The mixed models, describing normal CTRW in superlinear operational time and Levy-flights under the operational time of subdiffusive CTRW lead to paradoxical diffusive behavior, similar to the one found in transport on polymer chains. The relaxation to the Boltzmann distribution in such models is slow and asymptotically follows a power-law. | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0007496 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
