Anomalous diffusion on a fractal mesh

Abstract

An exact analytical analysis of anomalous diffusion on a fractal mesh is presented. The fractal mesh structure is a direct product of two fractal sets which belong to a main branch of backbones and side branch of fingers. The fractal sets of both backbones and fingers are constructed on the entire (infinite) yy and xx axises. To this end we suggested a special algorithm of this special construction. The transport properties of the fractal mesh is studied, in particular, subdiffusion along the backbones is obtained with the dispersion relation x2(t)tβ\langle x^2(t)\rangle\sim t^{\beta}, where the transport exponent β<1\beta<1 is determined by the fractal dimensions of both backbone and fingers. Superdiffusion with β>1\beta>1 has been observed as well when the environment is controlled by means of a memory kernel.
