Non-Gaussian diffusion was recently observed in gas mixtures with mass and fraction contrast [F. Nakai et al, Phys. Rev. E 107, 014605 (2023)]. The mean square displacement of a minor gas particle with a small mass is linear in time, while…

We present a model of anomalous diffusion consisting of an ensemble of particles undergoing homogeneous Brownian motion except for confinement by randomly placed reflecting boundaries. For power-law distributed compartment sizes, we…

A possible mechanism leading to anomalous diffusion is the presence of long-range correlations in time between the displacements of the particles. Fractional Brownian motion, a non-Markovian self-similar Gaussian process with stationary…

We study asymptotic properties of the system of interacting diffusion particles on the real line which transfer a mass [arXiv:1408.0628]. The system is a natural generalization of the coalescing Brownian motions. The main difference is that…

It is well known that on long time scales the behaviour of tracer particles diffusing in a cellular flow is effectively that of a Brownian motion. This paper studies the behaviour on "intermediate" time scales before diffusion sets in.…

Large unweighted directed graphs are commonly used to capture relations between entities. A fundamental problem in the analysis of such networks is to properly define the similarity or dissimilarity between any two vertices. Despite the…

According to the classical theory of Brownian motion, the mean squared displacement of diffusing particles evolves linearly with time whereas the distribution of their displacements is Gaussian. However, recent experiments on mesoscopic…

Stochastic motion of particles in a highly unstable potential generates a number of diverging trajectories leading to undefined statistical moments of the particle position. This makes experiments challenging and breaks down a standard…

How long does a diffusing molecule spend in a close vicinity of a confining boundary or a catalytic surface? This quantity is determined by the boundary local time, which plays thus a crucial role in the description of various…
