We study the diffusive motion of a particle in a subharmonic potential of the form $U(x)=|x|^c$ ($0<c<2$) driven by long-range correlated, stationary fractional Gaussian noise $\xi_{\alpha}(t)$ with $0<\alpha\le2$. In the absence of the…

It is shown that in systems with time-dependent and/or spatially nonuniform temperature $T(t,x)$, (i) most of the transport processes is weakly non-ergodic, and (ii) the diffusion (Brownian motion, BM) is anomalous. A few examples of simple…
