Anomalous diffusion processes, in particular superdiffusive ones, are known to be efficient strategies for searching and navigation by animals and also in human mobility. One way to create such regimes are L\'evy flights, where the walkers…

Random walk simulation of the Levy flight shows a linear relation between the mean square displacement <r2> and time. We have analyzed different aspects of this linearity. It is shown that the restriction of jump length to a maximum value…

We study a random walk on a point process given by an ordered array of points $(\omega_k, \, k \in \mathbb{Z})$ on the real line. The distances $\omega_{k+1} - \omega_k$ are i.i.d. random variables in the domain of attraction of a…

A Levy walk is a non-Markovian stochastic process in which the elementary steps of the walker consist of motion with constant speed in randomly chosen directions and for a random period of time. The time of flight is chosen from a…

The Levy walk model is studied in the context of the anomalous heat conduction of one dimensional systems. In this model the heat carriers execute Levy-walks instead of normal diffusion as expected in systems where Fourier's law holds. Here…

Properties of random and fluctuating systems are often studied through the use of Gaussian distributions. However, in a number of situations, rare events have drastic consequences, which can not be explained by Gaussian statistics.…

Spatial spread of minority carriers produced by optical excitation in semiconductors is usually well described by a diffusion equation. The classical diffusion process can be viewed as a result of a random walk of particles in which every…

The standard Levy walk is performed by a particle that moves ballistically between randomly occurring collisions, when the intercollision time is a random variable governed by a power-law distribution. During instantaneous collision events…

The natural analogue for a Levy process of Cramer's estimate for a reflected random walk is a statement about the exponential rate of decay of the tail of the characteristic measure of the height of an excursion above the minimum. We…
