A random walk scheme, consisting of alternating phases of regular Brownian motion and L\'evy walks, is proposed as a model for run-and-tumble bacterial motion. Within the continuous-time random walk approach we obtain the long-time and…

The superdiffusion behavior, i.e. $<x^2(t)> \sim t^{2 \nu}$, with $\nu > 1/2$, in general is not completely characherized by a unique exponent. We study some systems exhibiting strong anomalous diffusion, i.e. $<|x(t)|^q> \sim t^{q \nu(q)}$…

In the simplest realization of Brownian motion, a colloidal sphere moves randomly in an isotropic fluid; its mean squared displacement (MSD) grows linearly with time $\textit{\tau}$. Brownian motion in an orientationally ordered fluid, a…
