Abstract

We study the long-time behavior of the scaled walker (particle) position associated with decoupled continuous-time random walk which is characterized by superheavy-tailed distribution of waiting times and asymmetric heavy-tailed distribution of jump lengths. Both the scaling function and the corresponding limiting probability density are determined for all admissible values of tail indexes describing the jump distribution. To analytically investigate the limiting density function, we derive a number of different representations of this function and, by this way, establish its main properties. We also develop an efficient numerical method for computing the limiting probability density and compare our analytical and numerical results.
