Motived by the necessity of explicit and reliable calculations, as a valid contribution to clarify the effectiveness and, possibly, the limits of the Tsallis thermostatistics, we formulate the Two-Time Green Functions Method in nonextensive…

First passage times (FPTs) are often used to study timescales in physical, chemical, and biological processes. FPTs generically describe the time it takes a random "searcher" to find a "target." In many systems, the important timescale is…

The local time in an ensemble of particles measures the amount of time the particles spend in the vicinity of a given point in space. Here we study fluctuations of the empirical time average $R= T^{-1}\int_{0}^{T}\rho\left(x=0,t\right)\,dt$…

We consider a fractional version of the classical nonlinear birth process of which the Yule--Furry model is a particular case. Fractionality is obtained by replacing the first order time derivative in the difference-differential equations…

Biological events are often initiated when a random "searcher" finds a "target," which is called a first passage time (FPT). In some biological systems involving multiple searchers, an important timescale is the time it takes the slowest…
