Lévy walks on lattices as multi-state processes (1501.05216v1)

Published 21 Jan 2015 in cond-mat.stat-mech and math.DS

Abstract: Continuous-time random walks combining diffusive scattering and ballistic propagation on lattices model a class of L\'evy walks. The assumption that transitions in the scattering phase occur with exponentially-distributed waiting times leads to a description of the process in terms of multiple states, whose distributions evolve according to a set of delay differential equations, amenable to analytic treatment. We obtain an exact expression of the mean squared displacement associated with such processes and discuss the emergence of asymptotic scaling laws in regimes of diffusive and superdiffusive (subballistic) transport, emphasizing, in the latter case, the effect of initial conditions on the transport coefficients. Of particular interest is the case of rare ballistic propagation, in which case a regime of superdiffusion may lurk underneath one of normal diffusion.
