Expanding medium is very common in many different fields, such as biology and cosmology. It brings a nonnegligible influence on particle's diffusion, which is quite different from the effect of an external force field. The dynamic mechanism…

Anomalous-diffusion, the departure of the spreading dynamics of diffusing particles from the traditional law of Brownian-motion, is a signature feature of a large number of complex soft-matter and biological systems. Anomalous-diffusion…

We study the anomalous transport in systems of random walks (RW's) on comb-like lattices with fractal sidebranches, showing subdiffusion, and in a system of Brownian particles driven by a random shear along the x-direction, showing a…
