We consider the combined effects of a power law L\'{e}vy step distribution characterized by the step index $f$ and a power law waiting time distribution characterized by the time index $g$ on the long time behavior of a random walker. The…

We study symmetric L\'evy flights in a semi-infinite domain $[0,\infty)$ with a reflecting and absorbing boundary at 0. To this end, we use the fractional differential equation that governs the L\'evy process. Incorporating the boundary…
