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…

A space fractional diffusion-like equation is introduced, which embodies the nonlocality in time, represented by the memory kernel and the non-locality in space. A specific example of the nonlocal term is considered in combination with…

It is the common lore to assume that knowing the equation for the probability distribution function (PDF) of a stochastic model as a function of time tells the whole picture defining all other characteristics of the model. We show that this…

Based on the generalized Langevin equation for the momentum of a Brownian particle a generalized asymptotic Einstein relation is derived. It agrees with the well-known Einstein relation in the case of normal diffusion but continues to hold…

We show that anomalous diffusion arises in two different models for the motion of randomly forced and weakly damped particles: one is a generalisation of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process with a random force which depends on position as well…

It is recognised now that a variety of real-life phenomena ranging from diffuson of cold atoms to motion of humans exhibit dispersal faster than normal diffusion. L\'evy walks is a model that excelled in describing such superdiffusive…
