We study a non-linear convective-diffusive equation, local in space and time, which has its background in the dynamics of the thickness of a wetting film. The presence of a non-linear diffusion predicts the existence of fronts as well as…

Anomalous diffusion or, more generally, anomalous transport, with nonlinear dependence of the mean-squared displacement on the measurement time, is ubiquitous in nature. It has been observed in processes ranging from microscopic movement of…

We propose two nonlinear random walk models which are suitable for the analysis of both chemotaxis and anomalous transport. We derive the balance equations for the population density for the case when the transition rate for a random walk…
