The purpose of this tutorial is to introduce the main concepts behind normal and anomalous diffusion. Starting from simple, but well known experiments, a series of mathematical modeling tools are introduced, and the relation between them is…

Continuous-time random walks offer powerful coarse-grained descriptions of transport processes. We here microscopically derive such a model for a Brownian particle diffusing in a deep periodic potential. We determine both the waiting-time…

In this paper, we consider a multidimensional ergodic diffusion with jumps driven by a Brownian motion and a Poisson random measure associated with a pure-jump L\'evy process with finite L\'evy measure, whose drift coefficient depends on an…

We investigate the observables of the one-dimensional model for anomalous transport in semiconductor devices where diffusion arises from scattering at dislocations at fixed random positions, known as L\'evy-Lorentz gas. To gain insight into…

The L\'evy walk is a non-Brownian random walk model that has been found to describe anomalous dynamic phenomena in diverse fields ranging from biology over quantum physics to ecology. Recurrently occurring problems are to examine whether…

Many physical and biological processes are modeled by "particles" undergoing L\'evy random walks. A feature of significant interest in these systems is the mean square displacement (MSD) of the particles. Long-time asymptotic approximations…

In this paper excursions of a stationary diffusion in stationary state are studied. In particular, we compute the joint distribution of the occupation times $I^{(+)}_t$ and $I^{(-)}_t$ above and below, respectively, the observed level at…

Path-wise observables--functionals of stochastic trajectories--are at the heart of time-average statistical mechanics and are central to thermodynamic inequalities such as uncertainty relations, speed limits, and correlation-bounds. They…

We numerically solve a discretized model of Levy random walks on a finite one-dimensional domain in the presence of sources and with a reflection coefficient $r$. At the domain boundaries, the steady-state density profile is non-analytic.…
