Relativistic diffusion processes and random walk models
The nonrelativistic standard model for a continuous, one-parameter diffusion process in position space is the Wiener process. As is well known, the Gaussian transition probability density function (PDF) of this process is in conflict with special relativity, as it permits particles to propagate faster than the speed of light. A frequently considered alternative is provided by the telegraph equa...
متن کاملDiscrete random walk models for symmetric Lévy - Feller diffusion processes
We propose a variety of models of random walk, discrete in space and time, suitable for simulating stable random variables of arbitrary index α (0 < α ≤ 2), in the symmetric case. We show that by properly scaled transition to vanishing space and time steps our random walk models converge to the corresponding continuous Markovian stochastic processes, that we refer to as Lévy-Feller diffusion pr...
متن کاملRandom Walk Models for Space-fractional Diiusion Processes Random Walk Models for Space-fractional Diiusion Processes
By space-fractional (or L evy-Feller) diiusion processes we mean the processes governed by a generalized diiusion equation which generates all L evy stable probability distributions with index (0 < 2), including the two symmetric most popular laws, Cauchy (= 1) and Gauss (= 2). This generalized equation is obtained from the standard linear diiusion equation by replacing the second-order space d...
متن کاملRole of diffusion in branching and annihilation random walk models.
Different branching and annihilating random walk models are investigated by the cluster mean-field method and simulations in one and two dimensions. In the case of the A-->2A , 2A--> 0 model the cluster mean-field approximations show diffusion dependence in the phase diagram as was found recently by the nonperturbative renormalization group method [Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 255703 (2004)]]. The same...
متن کاملEinstein’s Random Walk and Thermal Diffusion
Thermal diffusion has been studied for over 150 years. Despite of the long history and the increasing importance of the phenomenon, the physics of thermal diffusion remains poorly understood. In this paper Ludwig’s thermal diffusion is explained using Einstein’s random walk. The only new structure added is the spatial heterogeneity of the random walk to reflect the temperature gradient of therm...
