Abstract
Starting with the relative entropy based on a previously proposed entropy function , we find the corresponding Fisher's information measure. After function redefinition we then maximize the Fisher information measure with respect to the new function and obtain a differential operator that reduces to a space coordinate second derivative in the limit. We then propose a simple differential equation for anomalous diffusion and show that its solutions are a generalization of the functions in the Barenblatt-Pattle solution. We find that the mean squared displacement, up to a -dependent constant, has a time dependence according to , where the parameter takes values (superdiffusion) and (subdiffusion), .
