Abstract

We analyse a bidimensional nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation by considering an anisotropic case, whose diffusion coefficients are DxxθD_x \propto |x|^{-\theta} and DyyγD_y \propto |y|^{-\gamma} with θ,γR\theta, \gamma \in {\cal{R}}. In this context, we also investigate two situations with the drift force F(r,t)=(kxx,kyy)\vec{F}(\vec{r},t)=(-k_{x}x, -k_y y). The first one is characterized by kx/ky=(2+γ)/(2+θ)k_x/k_y=(2+\gamma)/(2+\theta) and the second is given by kx=kk_{x}=k and ky=0k_{y}=0. In these cases, we can verify an anomalous behavior induced in different directions by the drift force applied. The found results are exact and exhibit, in terms of the qq-exponentials, functions which emerge from the Tsallis formalism. The generalization for the DD-dimensional case is discussed.
