Taming Lévy flights in confined crowded geometries.
We study two-dimensional diffusive motion of a tracer particle in restricted, crowded anisotropic geometries. The underlying medium is formed from a monolayer of elongated molecules [Cieśla J. Chem. Phys. 140, 044706 (2014)] of known concentration. Within this mesh structure, a tracer molecule is allowed to perform a Cauchy random walk with uncorrelated steps. Our analysis shows that the presen...
متن کاملSteady-state Lévy flights in a confined domain.
We derive the generalized Fokker-Planck equation associated with a Langevin equation driven by arbitrary additive white noise. We apply our result to study the distribution of symmetric and asymmetric Lévy flights in an infinitely deep potential well. The fractional Fokker-Planck equation for Lévy flights is derived and solved analytically in the steady state. It is shown that Lévy flights are ...
متن کاملSlow Lévy flights.
Among Markovian processes, the hallmark of Lévy flights is superdiffusion, or faster-than-Brownian dynamics. Here we show that Lévy laws, as well as Gaussian distributions, can also be the limit distributions of processes with long-range memory that exhibit very slow diffusion, logarithmic in time. These processes are path dependent and anomalous motion emerges from frequent relocations to alre...
متن کاملLévy flights in random environments.
We consider Lévy flights characterized by the step index f in a quenched random force field. By means of a dynamic renormalization group analysis we find that the dynamic exponent z for f < 2 locks onto f , independent of dimension and independent of the presence of weak quenched disorder. The critical dimension, however, depends on the step index f for f < 2 and is given by dc = 2f − 2. For d ...
متن کاملLévy flights in inhomogeneous media.
We investigate the impact of external periodic potentials on superdiffusive random walks known as Lévy flights and show that even strongly superdiffusive transport is substantially affected by the external field. Unlike ordinary random walks, Lévy flights are surprisingly sensitive to the shape of the potential while their asymptotic behavior ceases to depend on the Lévy index mu. Our analysis ...
