We briefly review some aspects of the anomalous diffusion, and its relevance in reactive systems. In particular we consider {\it strong anomalous} diffusion characterized by the moment behaviour $\langle x(t)^q \rangle \sim t^{q \nu(q)}$,…
We present a model for diffusion in a molecularly crowded environment. The model consists of random barriers in percolation network. Random walks in the presence of slowly moving barriers show normal diffusion for long times, but anomalous…

We revisit the diffusion properties and the mean drift induced by an external field of a random walk process in a class of branched structures, as the comb lattice and the linear chains of plaquettes. A simple treatment based on scaling…
Two models for quantum Brownian motion - the Oscillator Bath (OB) model and the Random-Band-Matrix (RBM) model - are compared and a relation between the spectral density function I(w) and the variance (Vab)^2 is established. The extension…
Despite the fact that conserved currents have dimensions that are determined solely by dimensional analysis (and hence no anomalous dimensions), Nature abounds in examples of anomalous diffusion in which $L\propto t^\gamma$, with $\gamma\ne…
We consider random flights in $\mathbb{R}^d$ reflecting on the surface of a sphere $\mathbb{S}^{d-1}_R,$ with center at the origin and with radius $R,$ where reflection is performed by means of circular inversion. Random flights studied in…

Solitons, which describe the propagation of concentrated beams of light through nonlinear media, can exhibit a variety of behaviors as a result of the intrinsic dissipation, diffraction, and the nonlinear effects. One of these phenomena,…

We consider transport properties of the chaotic (strange) attractor along unfolded trajectories of the dissipative standard map. It is shown that the diffusion process is normal except of the cases when a control parameter is close to some…
Fractional transport of particles on a comb structure in the presence of an inhomogeneous convection flow is studied. The large scale asymptotics is considered. It is shown that a contaminant spreads superdiffusively in the direction…
We consider a model system in which anomalous diffusion is generated by superposition of underlying linear modes with a broad range of relaxation times. In the language of Gaussian polymers, our model corresponds to Rouse (Fourier) modes…
Quasi two-dimensional random site percolation model objects were fabricate based on computer generated templates. Samples consisting of two compartments, a reservoir of H$_2$O gel attached to a percolation model object which was initially…
We consider a two-type reducible branching Brownian motion, defined as a particle system on the real line in which particles of two types move according to independent Brownian motion and create offspring at constant rate. Particles of type…
In many-particle diffusions, particles that move the furthest and fastest can play an outsized role in physical phenomena. A theoretical understanding of the behavior of such extreme particles is nascent. A classical model, in the spirit of…
Fractional kinetic equations employ non-integer calculus to model anomalous relaxation and diffusion in many systems. While this approach is well explored, it so far failed to describe an important class of transport in disordered systems.…

Deviations from Brownian motion leading to anomalous diffusion are found in transport dynamics from quantum physics to life sciences. The characterization of anomalous diffusion from the measurement of an individual trajectory is a…
