Subdiffusive fractional equations are not structurally stable with respect to spatial perturbations to the anomalous exponent (Phys. Rev. E 85, 031132 (2012)). The question arises of applicability of these fractional equations to model real…

Continuous Time Random Walk models (CTRW) of anomalous diffusion are studied, where the anomalous exponent $\beta(x) \in (0,1)$ varies in space. This type of situation occurs e.g. in biophysics, where the density of the intracellular matrix…

Consider anomalous energy spread in solid phases, i.e., $MSD= \int (x -{< x >}_E)^2 \rho_E(x,t)dx \propto t^{\beta}$, as induced by a small initial excess energy perturbation distribution $\rho_{E}(x,t=0)$ away from equilibrium. The…

We consider the signatures of a domain wall produced in the spontaneous symmetry breaking involving a dilaton-like scalar field coupled to electromagnetism. Domains on either side of the wall exhibit slight differences in their respective…

We show through intensive simulations that the paradigmatic features of anomalous diffusion are indeed the features of a (continuous-time) random walk driven by two different Markovian hopping-trap mechanisms. If $p \in (0,1/2)$ and $1-p$…
