The purpose of this paper is to implement a random death process into a persistent random walk model which produces subballistic superdiffusion (L\'{e}vy walk). We develop a Markovian model of cell motility with the extra residence variable…
The life of a cell is governed by highly dynamical microscopic processes. Two notable examples are the diffusion of membrane receptors and the kinetics of transcription factors governing the rates of gene expression. Different fluorescence…
Commonly, normal diffusive behavior is characterized by a linear dependence of the second central moment on time, $< x^2(t) >\propto t$, while anomalous behavior is expected to show a different time dependence, $ < x^2(t) > \propto…
Aggregation and fragmentation of single molecules in the cell environment lead to a spectrum of diffusivities and to statistical laws of movement very different from typical Brownian motion. Current models of intracellular transport do not…
We present a framework for systems in which diffusion-advection transport of a tracer substance in a mobile zone is interrupted by trapping in an immobile zone. Our model unifies different model approaches based on distributed-order…
Transport phenomena play a crucial role in modern physics and applied sciences. Examples include the dissipation of energy across a large system, the distribution of quantum information in optical networks, and the timely modeling of…
We consider in this paper subdiffusion in a system with a thin membrane. The subdiffusion parameters are the same in both parts of the system separated by the membrane. Using the random walk model with discrete time and space variables the…
The diffusion type is determined not only by microscopic dynamics but also by the environment properties. For example, the environment's fractal structure is responsible for the emergence of subdiffusive scaling of the mean square…
We present a simple model for deep bed filtration, where particles suspended in a fluid are trapped while passing through a porous filter. A steady state of the model is reached when filter can not trap additional particles. We find the…
Infiltration of diffusing particles from one material to another where the diffusion mechanism is either normal or anomalous is a widely observed phenomena. When the diffusion is anomalous we find interesting behaviors: diffusion may lead…
Many theoretical and experimental results show that solute transport in heterogeneous porous media exhibits multi-scaling behaviors. To describe such non-Fickian diffusions, this work provides a distributed order Hausdorff diffusion model…
We study a continuum model of dislocation transport in order to investigate the formation of heterogeneous dislocation patterns. We propose a physical mechanism which relates the formation of heterogeneous patterns to the dynamics of a…
A number of results for reactions involving subdiffusive species all with the same anomalous exponent gamma have recently appeared in the literature and can often be understood in terms of a subordination principle whereby time t in…
We investigate the obstructed motion of tracer (test) particles in crowded environments by carrying simulations of two-dimensional Gaussian random walk in model fibrinogen monolayers of different orientational ordering. The fibrinogen…
We study the transport properties of passive inertial particles in a $2-d$ incompressible flows. Here the particle dynamics is represented by the $4-d$ dissipative embedding map of $2-d$ area-preserving standard map which models the…
Models with mixed origins of anomalous subdiffusion have been considered important for understanding transport in biological systems. Here, one such mixed model, the quenched trap model (QTM) on fractal lattices, is investigated. It is…
Inspired by problems in biochemical kinetics, we study statistical properties of an overdamped Langevin process whose friction coefficient depends on the state of a similar, unobserved process. Integrating out the latter, we derive the long…
Diffusive transport is a universal phenomenon, throughout both biological and physical sciences, and models of diffusion are routinely used to interrogate diffusion-driven processes. However, most models neglect to take into account the…
This paper presents an {\it ab initio} derivation of the expression given by irreversible thermodynamics for the rate of entropy production for different classes of diffusive processes. The first class are Lorentz gases, where…
We introduce and analyze a model for the transport of particles or energy in extended lattice systems. The dynamics of the model acts on a discrete phase space at discrete times but has nonetheless some of the characteristic properties of…
