We propose a model of sub-diffusion in which an external force is acting on a particle at all times not only at the moment of jump. The implication of this assumption is the dependence of the random trapping time on the force with the…

Commonly, normal diffusive behavior is characterized by a linear dependence of the second central moment on time, $< x^2(t) >\propto t$, while anomalous behavior is expected to show a different time dependence, $ < x^2(t) > \propto…

Normal diffusion in corrugated potentials with spatially uncorrelated Gaussian energy disorder famously explains the origin of non-Arrhenius $\exp[-\sigma^2/(k_BT^2)]$ temperature-dependence in disordered systems. Here we show that unbiased…

Anomalous diffusion occurs in many physical and biological phenomena, when the growth of the mean squared displacement (MSD) with time has an exponent different from one. We show that recurrent neural networks (RNN) can efficiently…

Using three-dimensional convection simulations it is shown that a sinusoidal variation of horizontal shear leads to a kinematic \alpha effect with a similar sinusoidal variation. The effect exists even for weak stratification and arises…
