We experimentally investigate the transmission of light by dense atomic vapor. The light propagating in dense atomic vapor can be modeled as a L\'evy flight random walk. For such system, the step-length distribution can be modeled as…

The L\'evy walk process for a lower interval of an excursion times distribution ($\alpha<1$) is discussed. The particle rests between the jumps and the waiting time is position-dependent. Two cases are considered: a rising and diminishing…

We study the transmission of random walkers through a finite-size inhomogeneous material with a quenched, long-range correlated distribution of scatterers. We focus on a finite one-dimensional structure where walkers undergo random…

Stationary states of overdamped anharmonic stochastic oscillators driven by L\'evy noise are typically multimodal. The very same situation is recorded for an underdamped L\'evy noise driven motion in single-well potentials with linear…

We consider motion of a particle in a one-dimensional tilted ratchet potential subject to two-sided tempered stable L\'{e}vy noise characterised by strength $\Omega$, fractional index $\alpha$, skew $\theta$ and tempering $\lambda$. We…

The propagation of light that undergoes multiple-scattering by resonant atomic vapor can be described as a L\'evy flight. L\'evy flight is a random walk with heavy tailed step-size (r) distribution, decaying asymptotically as $P(r)\sim…

Levy walk at the finite velocity is considered. To analyze the spatial and temporal characteristics of this process, the method of moments has been used. The asymptotic distributions of the moments (at $t\to\infty$) have been obtained for…
