A standard inverse problem is to determine a source which is supported in an unknown domain $D$ from external boundary measurements. Here we consider the case of a time-dependent situation where the source is equal to unity in an unknown…
We show that {\it strong} anomalous diffusion, i.e. $\mean{|x(t)|^q} \sim t^{q \nu(q)}$ where $q \nu(q)$ is a nonlinear function of $q$, is a generic phenomenon within a class of generalized continuous-time random walks. For such class of…
