Trajectory statistics of confined L\'{e}vy flights and Boltzmann-type equilibria
Abstract
We analyze a specific class of random systems that are driven by a symmetric L\'{e}vy stable noise, where Langevin representation is absent. In view of the L\'{e}vy noise sensitivity to environmental inhomogeneities, the pertinent random motion asymptotically sets down at the Boltzmann-type equilibrium, represented by a probability density function (pdf) . Here, we infer pdf based on numerical path-wise simulation of the underlying jump-type process. A priori given data are jump transition rates entering the master equation for and its target pdf . To simulate the above processes, we construct a suitable modification of the Gillespie algorithm, originally invented in the chemical kinetics context. We exemplified our algorithm simulating different jump-type processes and discuss the dynamics of real physical systems where it can be useful.
