We consider a one-dimensional fermionic lattice system with long-ranged power-law decaying hopping with exponent $\alpha$. The system is further subjected to dephasing noise in the bulk. We investigate two variants of the problem: (i) an…
Diffusive motion is a fundamental transport mechanism in physical and biological systems, governing dynamics across a wide range of scales -- from molecular transport to animal foraging. In many complex systems, however, diffusion deviates…
We study the first-passage properties of a random walk in the unit interval in which the length of a single step is uniformly distributed over the finite range [-a,a]. For a of the order of one, the exit probabilities to each edge of the…
In this paper, we study the dynamics of a random walker diffusing on a disordered one-dimensional lattice with random trappings. The distribution of escape probabilities is computed exactly for any strength of the disorder. These…

Active (i.e., self-propelled or swimming) particles moving through an isotropic fluid exhibit conventional diffusive behavior. We report anomalous diffusion of an active particle moving in an anisotropic, nematic background. Whilst the…

We develop a mathematical framework allowing to study anomalous transport in homogeneous solids. The main tools characterizing the anomalous transport properties are spectral and diffusion exponents associated to the covariant Hamiltonians…
We introduce a novel random walk model that emerges in the event-chain Monte Carlo (ECMC) of spin systems. In the ECMC, the lifting variable specifying the spin to be updated changes its value to one of its interacting neighbor spins. This…
We analyze diffusion processes with finite propagation speed in a non-homogeneous medium in terms of the heterogeneous telegrapher's equation. In the diffusion limit of infinite-velocity propagation we recover the results for the…
A fundamental insight in the theory of diffusive random walks is that the mean length of trajectories traversing a finite open system is independent of the details of the diffusion process. Instead, the mean trajectory length depends only…
Persistent random walks are intermediate transport processes between a uniform rectilinear motion and a Brownian motion. They are formed by successive steps of random finite lengths and directions travelled at a fixed speed. The isotropic…
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…
The diffusive transport of particles in anisotropic media is a fundamental phenomenon in computational, medical and biological disciplines. While deterministic models (partial differential equations) of such processes are well established,…
In this work, we investigate the presence of sub-diffusive behavior in the Chirikov-Taylor Standard Map. We show that the stickiness phenomena, present in the mixed phase space of the map setup, can be characterized as a Continuous Time…
The onset of the Rayleigh-Benard instability in a horizontal fluid layer is investigated by assuming the fluid as a binary mixture and the concentration buoyancy as the driving force. The focus of this study is on the anomalous diffusion…
The exponent of anomalous diffusion of virus in cytoplasm of a living cell is experimentally known to fluctuate depending on localized areas of the cytoplasm, indicating heterogeneity of diffusion. In a recent paper (Itto, 2012), a…
