We study here the random diffusion model. This is a continuum model for a conserved scalar density field $\phi$ driven by diffusive dynamics. The interesting feature of the dynamics is that the {\it bare} diffusion coefficient $D$ is…

Equation for anomalous diffusion in momentum space, recently obtained in the recent paper (S.A. Trigger, ArXiv 0907.2793 v1, [cond-matt. stat.-mech.], 16 July 2009) is solved for the stationary and non-stationary cases on basis of the…
