The transport of bio-particles in viscous flows exhibits a rich variety of dynamical behaviour, such as morphological transitions, complex orientation dynamics or deformations. Characterising such complex behaviour under well controlled…

We study L\'evy walks in quenched disordered one-dimensional media, with scatterers spaced according to a long-tailed distribution. By analyzing the scaling relations for the random-walk probability and for the resistivity in the equivalent…

First, we present some results about the H\"older continuity of the sample paths of so called dilatively stable processes which are certain infinitely divisible processes having a more general scaling property than self-similarity. As a…
