Finite-velocity diffusion on a comb

Statistical Mechanics 2018-12-10 v1

Abstract

A Cattaneo equation for a comb structure is considered. We present a rigorous analysis of the obtained fractional diffusion equation, and corresponding solutions for the probability distribution function are obtained in the form of the Fox HH-function and its infinite series. The mean square displacement along the backbone is obtained as well in terms of the infinite series of the Fox HH-function. The obtained solutions describe the transition from normal diffusion to subdiffusion, which results from the comb geometry.
