Generalized space-time fractional dynamics in networks and lattices (1910.05949v1)

Abstract: We analyze generalized space-time fractional motions on undirected networks and lattices. The continuous-time random walk (CTRW) approach of Montroll and Weiss is employed to subordinate a space fractional walk to a generalization of the time-fractional Poisson renewal process. This process introduces a non-Markovian walk with long-time memory effects and fat-tailed characteristics in the waiting time density. We analyze generalized space-time fractional diffusion' in the infinite $\it d$-dimensional integer lattice $\it \mathbb{Z}^d$. We obtain in the diffusion limit amacroscopic' space-time fractional diffusion equation. Classical CTRW models such as with Laskin's fractional Poisson process and standard Poisson process which occur as special cases are also analyzed. The developed generalized space-time fractional CTRW model contains a four-dimensional parameter space and offers therefore a great flexibility to describe real-world situations in complex systems.
