Rayleigh-Levy flights have played a significant role in cosmology as simplified models for understanding how matter distributes itself under gravitational influence. These models also exhibit numerous remarkable properties that enable the…

L\'evy Flights are paradigmatic generalised random walk processes, in which the independent stationary increments---the "jump lengths"---are drawn from an $\alpha$-stable jump length distribution with long-tailed, power-law asymptote. As a…

Levy flights, characterized by the microscopic step index f, are for f<2 (the case of rare events) considered in short range and long range quenched random force fields with arbitrary vector character to first loop order in an expansion…

Once recognizing that point particles moving inside the extended version of the rippled billiard perform L\'evy flights characterized by a L\'evy-type distribution $P(\ell)\sim \ell^{-(1+\alpha)}$ with $\alpha=1$, we derive a generalized…

Context: Statistical properties of the cosmic density fields are to a large extent encoded in the shape of the one-point density probability distribution functions (PDF). In order to successfully exploit such observables, a detailed…

We consider the time evolution of two-dimensional Levy flights in a finite area with periodic boundary conditions. From simulations we show that the fractal path dimension d_f and thus the degree of area coverage grows in time until it…

We propose a novel method for the description of spatial patterns formed by a coverage of point sets representing galaxy samples. This method is based on a complete family of morphological measures known as Minkowski functionals, which…

We analyze confining mechanisms for L\'{e}vy flights. When they evolve in suitable external potentials their variance may exist and show signatures of a superdiffusive transport. Two classes of stochastic jump - type processes are…
