We show the asymptotic long-time equivalence of a generic power law waiting time distribution to the Mittag-Leffler waiting time distribution, characteristic for a time fractional CTRW. This asymptotic equivalence is effected by a…

Recently, in the paper: T. Koszto{\l}owicz and A. Dutkiewicz, Phys. Rev. E \textbf{104}, 014118 (2021) the $g$--subdiffusion equation with fractional Caputo time derivative with respect to another function $g$ has been considered. This…

Extensive empirical investigation has shown that a plethora of real networks synchronously exhibit scale-free and modular structure, and it is thus of great importance to uncover the effects of these two striking properties on various…

We consider the first-passage problem for $N$ identical independent particles that are initially released uniformly in a finite domain $\Omega$ and then diffuse toward a reactive area $\Gamma$, which can be part of the outer boundary of…

The waiting time distribution has, in recent years, proven to be a useful statistical tool for characterising transport in nanoscale quantum transport. In particular, as opposed to moments of the distribution of transferred charge, which…

The ordinary subdiffusion equation, with a fractional time derivative of at most first order, describes a process in which the propagation velocity of diffusing molecules is unlimited. To avoid this non-physical property different forms of…
