A computer algorithm for the visualization of sample paths of anomalous diffusion processes is developed. It is based on the stochastic representation of the fractional Fokker-Planck equation describing anomalous diffusion in a nonconstant potential. Monte Carlo methods employing the introduced algorithm will surely provide tools for studying many relevant statistical characteristics of the fractional Fokker-Planck dynamics.
A canonical decomposition of H-self-similar Lévy symmetric alpha-stable processes is presented. The resulting components completely described by both deterministic kernels and the corresponding stochastic integral with respect to the Lévy symmetric alpha-stable motion are shown to be related to the dissipative and conservative parts of the dynamics. This result provides stochastic analysis tools for study the anomalous diffusion phenomena in the Langevin equation framework. For example, a simple computer test for testing the origins of self-similarity is implemented for four real empirical time series recorded from different physical systems: an ionic current flow through a single channel in a biological membrane, an energy of solar flares, a seismic electric signal recorded during seismic Earth activity, and foreign exchange rate daily returns.
In this paper we attack the challenging problem of modeling subdiffusion with an arbitrary space-time-dependent driving. Our method is based on a combination of the Langevin-type dynamics with subordination techniques. For the case of a purely time-dependent force, we recover the death of linear response and field-induced dispersion -- two significant physical properties well-known from the studies based on the fractional Fokker-Planck equation. However, our approach allows us to study subdiffusive dynamics without referring to this equation.
An explicit stochastic representation of a stationary ionic current signal recorded from a single channel of a biological membrane is presented. In the framework of the proposed approach we show how the dichotomous time structure of the signal leads to the non-Markovian character of the channel current. The rescaled range Hurst and detrended fluctuation analyses confirm the theoretical result. To investigate the ionic current fluctuations we introduce the Orey index as a statistical method providing additional information on the properties of stochastic processes. In order to reveal any differences between the experimental and reconstructed signals, we apply also the statistical tests to the model-based simulations of the channel action.
We derive general properties of anomalous diffusion and nonexponential relaxation from the theory of tempered alpha-stable processes. The tempering results in the existence of all moments of operational time. The subordination by the inverse tempered alpha-stable process provides diffusion (relaxation) that occupies an intermediate place between subdiffusion (Cole-Cole law) and normal diffusion (exponential law). Here we obtain explicitly the Fokker-Planck equation and the Cole-Davidson relaxation function. This model includes subdiffusion as a particular case.
In this paper, we propose a transparent subordination approach to anomalous diffusion processes underlying the nonexponential relaxation. We investigate properties of a coupled continuous-time random walk that follows from modeling the occurrence of jumps with compound counting processes. As a result, two different diffusion processes corresponding to over- and undershooting operational times, respectively, have been found. We show that within the proposed framework, all empirical two-power-law relaxation patterns may be derived. This work is motivated by the so-called "less typical" relaxation behavior observed, e.g., for gallium-doped Cd0.99Mn0.01Te mixed crystals.
