We calculate the diffusion coefficients of persistent random walks on cubic and hypercubic lattices, where the direction of a walker at a given step depends on the memory of one or two previous steps. These results are then applied to study…

Discrete scale invariance (DSI) has recently been documented in time-to-failure rupture, earthquake processes and financial crashes, in the fractal geometry of growth processes and in random systems. The main signature of DSI is the…

The time-dependent relaxation of a dynamical system may exhibit a power-law behavior that is superimposed by log-periodic oscillations. Sornette [Phys. Rep. 297, 239 (1998)] showed that this behavior can be explained by a discrete scale…
We present experimental evidence and theoretical arguments showing that the time-evolution of freely decaying 2-d turbulence is governed by a {\it discrete} time scale invariance rather than a continuous time scale invariance. Physically,…
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 p_T transverse momentum distributions exhibit apparently a power-like behavior. We argue that, under closer inspection, this behavior is in fact decorated with some log-periodic oscillations. Assuming that this is genuine effect and…
