Time averaged Einstein relation and fluctuating diffusivities for the L\'evy walk
Abstract
The L\'evy walk model is a stochastic framework of enhanced diffusion with many applications in physics and biology. Here we investigate the time averaged mean squared displacement often used to analyze single particle tracking experiments. The ballistic phase of the motion is non-ergodic and we obtain analytical expressions for the fluctuations of . For enhanced sub-ballistic diffusion we observe numerically apparent ergodicity breaking on long time scales. As observed by Akimoto \textit{Phys. Rev. Lett.} \textbf{108}, 164101 (2012) deviations of temporal averages from the ensemble average depend on the initial preparation of the system, and here we quantify this discrepancy from normal diffusive behavior. Time averaged response to a bias is considered and the resultant generalized Einstein relations are discussed.
