We propose a scaling description of phase separation of polymer solutions. The scaling incorporates three universal limiting regimes: the Ising limit asymptotically close to the critical point of phase separation, the "ideal-gas" limit for…
Super-diffusion, characterized by a spreading rate $t^{1/\alpha}$ of the probability density function $p(x,t) = t^{-1/\alpha} p \left( t^{-1/\alpha} x , 1 \right)$, where $t$ is time, may be modeled by space-fractional diffusion equations…
