According to a traditional point of view Boltzmann entropy is intimately related to linear Fokker-Planck equations (Smoluchowski, Klein-Kramers, and Rayleigh equations) that describe a well-known nonequilibrium phenomenon: (normal) Brownian…

Consider a chaotic dynamical system generating Brownian motion-like diffusion. Consider a second, non-chaotic system in which all particles localize. Let a particle experience a random combination of both systems by sampling between them in…

Fractional Brownian motion, a stochastic process with long-time correlations between its increments, is a prototypical model for anomalous diffusion. We analyze fractional Brownian motion in the presence of a reflecting wall by means of…
The anomalous (i.e. non-Gaussian) dynamics of particles subject to a deterministic acceleration and a series of 'random kicks' is studied. Based on an extension of the concept of continuous time random walks to position-velocity space, a…
