The Fokker-Planck equation for the probability $f(r,t)$ to find a random walker at position $r$ at time $t$ is derived for the case that the the probability to make jumps depends nonlinearly on $f(r,t)$. The result is a generalized form of…

There is experimental and theoretical evidence that the broad rapidity distribution of net proton yield in central heavy-ion collisions at SPS energies could be a signal of non-equilibrium properties of the system. We show that the broad…

Anomalous diffusion is predicted for Brownian particles in inhomogeneous viscosity landscapes by means of scaling arguments, which are substantiated through numerical simulations. Analytical solutions of the related Fokker-Planck equation…

Deriving evolution equations accounting for both anomalous diffusion and reactions is notoriously difficult, even in the simplest cases. In contrast to normal diffusion, reaction kinetics cannot be incorporated into evolution equations…
