The Fokker-Planck equation for the probability $f(r,t)$ to find a random walker at position $r$ at time $t$ is derived for the case that the the probability to make jumps depends nonlinearly on $f(r,t)$. The result is a generalized form of…

We show through intensive simulations that the paradigmatic features of anomalous diffusion are indeed the features of a (continuous-time) random walk driven by two different Markovian hopping-trap mechanisms. If $p \in (0,1/2)$ and $1-p$…

The continuous-time random walk (CTRW) model is useful for alleviating the computational burden of simulating diffusion in actual media. In principle, isotropic CTRW only requires knowledge of the step-size, $P_l$, and waiting-time, $P_t$,…
