Abstract

We consider the linear response of systems modelled by continuous-time random walks (CTRW) and by fractional Fokker-Planck equations under the influence of time-dependent external fields. We calculate the corresponding response functions explicitely. The CTRW curve exhibits aging, i.e. it is not translationally invariant in the time-domain. This is different from what happens under fractional Fokker-Planck conditions.
