The paper presents a multidimensional model for nonlinear Markovian random walks that generalizes one we developed previously (Phys. Rev. E v.79, 011110, 2009) in order to describe the Levy type stochastic processes in terms of continuous…

L\'evy Flights are paradigmatic generalised random walk processes, in which the independent stationary increments---the "jump lengths"---are drawn from an $\alpha$-stable jump length distribution with long-tailed, power-law asymptote. As a…

We study specific properties of particles transport by exploring an exact solvable model, a so-called comb structure, where diffusive transport of particles leads to subdiffusion. A performance of L\'evy -- like process enriches this…

We introduce a fractional Fokker-Planck equation (FFPE) for Levy flights in the presence of an external field. The equation is derived within the framework of the subordination of random processes which leads to Levy flights. It is shown…

We study boundary traces of shift-invariant diffusions: two-dimensional diffusions in the upper half-plane $\mathbb{R} \times [0, \infty)$ (or in $\mathbb{R} \times [0, R)$) invariant under horizontal translations. We prove that the…

The purpose of this paper is to implement a random death process into a persistent random walk model which produces subballistic superdiffusion (L\'{e}vy walk). We develop a Markovian model of cell motility with the extra residence variable…

We investigate the impact of external periodic potentials on superdiffusive random walks known as Levy flights and show that even strongly superdiffusive transport is substantially affected by the external field. Unlike ordinary random…

L\'{e}vy walk is a popular and more `physical' model to describe the phenomena of superdiffusion, because of its finite velocity. The movements of particles are under the influences of external potentials almost at anytime and anywhere. In…
