In a recent paper (Abe S 2013 Phys. Rev. E 88 022142), a variational principle has been formulated for spatiotemporally-fractional Fokker-Planck equations and applied to derivations of their approximate analytic solutions based on the…

We analyze the extension of the well known relation between Brownian motion and Schroedinger equation to the family of Levy processes. We consider a Levy-Schroedinger equation where the usual kinetic energy operator - the Laplacian - is…

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…

L\'evy ratchets are minimal models of fluctuation-driven transport in the presence of L\'evy noise and periodic external potentials with broken spatial symmetry. In these systems, a net ratchet current can appear even in the absence of time…

Among Markovian processes, the hallmark of L\'evy flights is superdiffusion, or faster-than-Brownian dynamics. Here we show that L\'evy laws, as well as Gaussians, can also be the limit distributions of processes with long range memory that…

Standard Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) is driven by a continuous Brownian motion which then produces a trace, a continuous fractal curve connecting the singular points of the motion. If jumps are added to the driving function, the trace…

L\'evy flights and L\'evy walks serve as two paradigms of random walks resembling common features but also bearing fundamental differences. One of the main dissimilarities are discontinuity versus continuity of their trajectories and…

In this paper we present some limit theorems for power variation of L\'evy semi-stationary processes in the setting of infill asymptotics. L\'evy semi-stationary processes, which are a one-dimensional analogue of ambit fields, are moving…

We investigate several fundamental properties of kinetic Langevin processes in $\mathbb{R}^{2d}$, defined as solutions to the following system: $$dx\_t = v\_t \, dt, \qquad dv\_t = \mathbf{B}(x\_t, v\_t) \, dt + dL\_t$$ where $(L\_t, t \ge…

When is it possible to interpret a given Markov process as a L\'evy-like process? Since the class of L\'evy processes can be defined by the relation between transition probabilities and convolutions, the answer to this question lies in the…

For a L\'evy process $\xi=(\xi_t)_{t\geq0}$ drifting to $-\infty$, we define the so-called exponential functional as follows \[{\rm{I}}_{\xi}=\int_0^{\infty}e^{\xi_t} dt.\] Under mild conditions on $\xi$, we show that the following…
