In a very long Gaussian polymer on time scales shorter that the maximal relaxation time, the mean squared distance travelled by a tagged monomer grows as ~t^{1/2}. We analyze such sub-diffusive behavior in the presence of one or two…

The Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) diffusional model for the immittance or impedance spectroscopy response of an electrolytic cell in a finite-length situation is extended to a general framework. In this new formalism, the bulk behavior of the…

We examine a generalized KPP equation with a ``$q$-diffusion", which is a framework that unifies various standard linear diffusion regimes: Fickian diffusion ($q = 0$), Stratonovich diffusion ($q = 1/2$), Fokker-Planck diffusion ($q = 1$),…
