Abstract
Anomalous transport is usually described either by models of continuous time random walks (CTRWs) or, otherwise, by fractional Fokker-Planck equations (FFPEs). The asymptotic relation between properly scaled CTRW and fractional diffusion process has been worked out via various approaches widely discussed in literature. Here, we focus on a correspondence between CTRWs and time and space fractional diffusion equation stemming from two different methods aimed to accurately approximate anomalous diffusion processes. One of them is the Monte Carlo simulation of uncoupled CTRW with a Lévy α-stable distribution of jumps in space and a one-parameter Mittag-Leffler distribution of waiting times. The other is based on a discretized form of a subordinated Langevin equation in which the physical time defined via the number of subsequent steps of motion is itself a random variable. Both approaches are tested for their numerical performance and verified with known analytical solutions for the Green function of a space-time fractional diffusion equation. The comparison demonstrates a trade off between precision of constructed solutions and computational costs. The method based on the subordinated Langevin equation leads to a higher accuracy of results, while the CTRW framework with a Mittag-Leffler distribution of waiting times provides efficiently an approximate fundamental solution to the FFPE and converges to the probability density function of the subordinated process in a long-time limit.

Abstract
In this paper we present an approach to anomalous diffusion based on subordination of stochastic processes. Application of such a methodology to analysis of the diffusion processes helps better understanding of physical mechanisms underlying the nonexponential relaxation phenomena. In the subordination framework we analyze a coupling between the very large jumps in physical and two different operational times, modeled by under- and overshooting subordinators, respectively. We show that the resulting diffusion processes display features by means of which all experimentally observed two-power-law dielectric relaxation patterns can be explained. We also derive the corresponding fractional equations governing the spatiotemporal evolution of the diffusion front of an excitation mode undergoing diffusion in the system under consideration. The commonly known type of subdiffusion, corresponding to the Mittag-Leffler (or Cole-Cole) relaxation, appears as a special case of the studied anomalous diffusion processes.

Abstract
We derive an integrodifferential diffusion equation for decoupled continuous time random walk that is valid for a generic waiting time probability density function and external force. Using this equation we also study diffusion behaviors for a couple of specific waiting time probability density functions such as exponential, a combination of power law and generalized Mittag-Leffler function and a sum of exponentials under the influence of a harmonic trap. We show that first two waiting time probability density functions can reproduce the results of the ordinary and fractional diffusion equations for all the time regions from small to large times. But the third one shows a much more complicated pattern. Furthermore, from the integrodifferential diffusion equation we show that the second Einstein relation can hold for any waiting time probability density function.

In the case of the combination of a power law and generalized Mittag-Leffler waiting probability density function, we obtain the subdiffusive behavior for all the time regions from small to large times and probability density function is non-Gaussian distribution.

Abstract
Commonly, normal diffusive behavior is characterized by a linear dependence of the second central moment on time, {x2(t) proportional t, while anomalous behavior is expected to show a different time dependence, x2(t) proportional t{delta} with delta<1 for subdiffusive and delta>1 for superdiffusive motions. Here we explore in details the fact that this kind of qualification, if applied straightforwardly, may be misleading: there are anomalous transport motions revealing perfectly "normal" diffusive character (x2(t) proportional t) yet being non-Markov and non-Gaussian in nature. We use recently developed framework of Monte Carlo simulations which incorporates anomalous diffusion statistics in time and space and creates trajectories of such an extended random walk. For special choice of stability indices describing statistics of waiting times and jump lengths, the ensemble analysis of anomalous diffusion is shown to hide temporal memory effects which can be properly detected only by examination of formal criteria of Markovianity (fulfillment of the Chapman-Kolmogorov equation).

Abstract
The continuous-time random walk (CTRW) is a pure-jump stochastic process with several applications not only in physics but also in insurance, finance, and economics. A definition is given for a class of stochastic integrals driven by a CTRW, which includes the Itō and Stratonovich cases. An uncoupled CTRW with zero-mean jumps is a martingale. It is proved that, as a consequence of the martingale transform theorem, if the CTRW is a martingale, the Itō integral is a martingale too. It is shown how the definition of the stochastic integrals can be used to easily compute them by Monte Carlo simulation. The relations between a CTRW, its quadratic variation, its Stratonovich integral, and its Itō integral are highlighted by numerical calculations when the jumps in space of the CTRW have a symmetric Lévy alpha -stable distribution and its waiting times have a one-parameter Mittag-Leffler distribution. Remarkably, these distributions have fat tails and an unbounded quadratic variation. In the diffusive limit of vanishing scale parameters, the probability density of this kind of CTRW satisfies the space-time fractional diffusion equation (FDE) or more in general the fractional Fokker-Planck equation, which generalizes the standard diffusion equation, solved by the probability density of the Wiener process, and thus provides a phenomenologic model of anomalous diffusion. We also provide an analytic expression for the quadratic variation of the stochastic process described by the FDE and check it by Monte Carlo.

Abstract
In this paper, we examine the dynamics of reaction-diffusion systems with fractional time derivatives. It is shown that in these conditions diffusion is anomalous, in the sense that the mean-square displacement r2 approximately tgamma, where gamma<1, a situation known as subdiffusion. We study the conditions for the appearance of a diffusion-driven instability and show that the restrictive conditions for a Turing instability are relaxed. This implies that systems whose kinetics are not of the activator-inhibitor kind can have a Turing instability and a modulated final state. We demonstrate our results with numerical calculations in two dimensions using a generic Turing model.

Abstract
The Fokker-Planck equation for the probability f(r,t) to find a random walker at position r at time t is derived for the case that the probability to make jumps depends nonlinearly on f(r,t) . The result is a generalized form of the classical Fokker-Planck equation where the effects of drift, due to a violation of detailed balance, and of external fields are also considered. It is shown that in the absence of drift and external fields a scaling solution, describing anomalous diffusion, is possible only if the nonlinearity in the jump probability is of the power law type [ approximately f;{eta}(r,t)] , in which case the generalized Fokker-Planck equation reduces to the porous media equation. Monte Carlo simulations are shown to confirm the theoretical results.

Abstract
We have introduced a set of coupled fractional reaction-diffusion equations to model a multispecies system undergoing anomalous subdiffusion with linear reaction dynamics. The model equations are derived from a mesoscopic continuous time random walk formulation of anomalously diffusing species with linear mean field reaction kinetics. The effect of reactions is manifest in reaction modified spatiotemporal diffusion operators as well as in additive mean field reaction terms. One consequence of the nonseparability of reaction and subdiffusion terms is that the governing evolution equation for the concentration of one particular species may include both reactive and diffusive contributions from other species. The general solution is derived for the multispecies system and some particular special cases involving both irreversible and reversible reaction dynamics are analyzed in detail. We have carried out Monte Carlo simulations corresponding to these special cases and we find excellent agreement with theory.

Abstract
We present a numerical method for the Monte Carlo simulation of uncoupled continuous-time random walks with a Lévy alpha -stable distribution of jumps in space and a Mittag-Leffler distribution of waiting times, and apply it to the stochastic solution of the Cauchy problem for a partial differential equation with fractional derivatives both in space and in time. The one-parameter Mittag-Leffler function is the natural survival probability leading to time-fractional diffusion equations. Transformation methods for Mittag-Leffler random variables were found later than the well-known transformation method by Chambers, Mallows, and Stuck for Lévy alpha -stable random variables and so far have not received as much attention; nor have they been used together with the latter in spite of their mathematical relationship due to the geometric stability of the Mittag-Leffler distribution. Combining the two methods, we obtain an accurate approximation of space- and time-fractional diffusion processes almost as easy and fast to compute as for standard diffusion processes.

Abstract
The continuous time random walk (CTRW) is a natural generalization of the Brownian random walk that allows the incorporation of waiting time distributions psi(t) and general jump distribution functions eta(x). There are two well-known fluid limits of this model in the uncoupled case. For exponential decaying waiting times and Gaussian jump distribution functions the fluid limit leads to the diffusion equation. On the other hand, for algebraic decaying waiting times psi approximately t(-(1+beta)) and algebraic decaying jump distributions eta approximately x(-(1+alpha)) corresponding to Lévy stable processes, the fluid limit leads to the fractional diffusion equation of order alpha in space and order beta in time. However, these are two special cases of a wider class of models. Here we consider the CTRW for the most general Lévy stochastic processes in the Lévy-Khintchine representation for the jump distribution function and obtain an integrodifferential equation describing the dynamics in the fluid limit. The resulting equation contains as special cases the regular and the fractional diffusion equations. As an application we consider the case of CTRWs with exponentially truncated Lévy jump distribution functions. In this case the fluid limit leads to a transport equation with exponentially truncated fractional derivatives which describes the interplay between memory, long jumps, and truncation effects in the intermediate asymptotic regime. The dynamics exhibits a transition from superdiffusion to subdiffusion with the crossover time scaling as tauc approximately lambda(-alpha/beta), where 1/lambda is the truncation length scale. The asymptotic behavior of the propagator (Green's function) of the truncated fractional equation exhibits a transition from algebraic decay for t<<tauc to stretched Gaussian decay for t>>tauc.

Abstract
The problem of the nonlinear dielectric relaxation of complex liquids is tackled in the context of the Cole-Davidson [J. Chem. Phys. 19, 1484 (1951)] model. By using an appropriate time derivative of noninteger order, an infinite hierarchy of differential-recurrence relations for the moments (expectation values of the Legendre polynomials) is obtained. The solution is established for the stationary regime of an ensemble of polar and symmetric-top molecules acted on by a strong dc bias electric field superimposed on a weak ac electric field. The results for the first three nonlinear harmonic components of the electric susceptibility are analytically established and illustrated with the help of Argand diagrams for the nonlinear dielectric increment and three-dimensional dispersion and absorption spectra for the second and the third harmonic components as a function of the anomalous exponent beta</=1, the value of which gives rise to skewed arcs (Argand plots) and asymmetric shapes (loss spectra) in the high-frequency domain.

Abstract
Anomalous transport in tilted periodic potentials is investigated within the framework of the fractional Fokker-Planck dynamics and the underlying continuous time random walk. The analytical solution for the stationary, anomalous current is obtained in closed form. We derive a universal scaling law for anomalous diffusion occurring in tilted periodic potentials. This scaling relation is corroborated with precise numerical studies covering wide parameter regimes and different shapes for the periodic potential, being either symmetric or ratchetlike.

Abstract
The fractional diffusion equation that is constructed replacing the time derivative with a fractional derivative, (0)D(alpha)(t) f = C(alpha) theta(2) f/theta x(2), where (0)D(alpha)(t) is the Riemann-Liouville derivative operator, is characterized by a probability density that decays with time as t(alpha -1) (alpha < 1) and an initial condition that diverges as t -->0 [R. Hilfer, J. Phys. Chem. B 104, 3914 (2000)]. These seemingly unphysical features have obstructed the application of the fractional diffusion equation. The paper clarifies the meaning of these properties adopting concrete physical interpretations of experimentally verified models: the decay of free-carrier density in a semiconductor with an exponential distribution of traps, and the decay of ion-recombination isothermal luminescence. We conclude that the fractional diffusion equation is a suitable representation of diffusion in disordered media with dissipative processes such as trapping or recombination involving an initial exponential distribution either in the energy or spatial axis. The fractional decay does not consider explicitly the starting excitation and ultrashort time-scale relaxation that forms the initial exponential distribution, and therefore it cannot be extrapolated to t = 0.

Abstract
In this study we have analytically obtained the relaxation function in terms of rotational correlation functions based on Brownian motion for complex disordered systems in a stochastic framework. We found out that the rotational relaxation function has a fractional form for complex disordered systems, which indicates that relaxation has nonexponential character and obeys the Kohlrausch-William-Watts law, following the Mittag-Leffler decay.

Abstract
An anomalous diffusion model for ion channel gating is put forward. This scheme is able to describe nonexponential, power-law-like distributions of residence time intervals in several types of ion channels. Our method presents a generalization of the discrete diffusion model by Millhauser, Salpeter, and Oswald [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 85, 1503 (1988)] to the case of a continuous, anomalous slow conformational diffusion. The corresponding generalization is derived from a continuous-time random walk composed of nearest-neighbor jumps which in the scaling limit results in a fractional diffusion equation. The studied model contains three parameters only: the mean residence time, a characteristic time of conformational diffusion, and the index of subdiffusion. A tractable analytical expression for the characteristic function of the residence time distribution is obtained. In the limiting case of normal diffusion, our prior findings [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 99, 3552 (2002)] are reproduced. Depending on the chosen parameters, the fractional diffusion model exhibits a very rich behavior of the residence time distribution with different characteristic time regimes. Moreover, the corresponding autocorrelation function of conductance fluctuations displays nontrivial power law features. Our theoretical model is in good agreement with experimental data for large conductance potassium ion channels.

Abstract
The present work discusses the fractional diffusion equation based on the Riemann-Liouville fractional time derivatives. It was shown that the normalization conservation constraint leads to the divergency of diffusive agent concentration at the origin. This divergency implies an external source of the diffusive agent at r-->0. Thus, the Riemann-Liouville fractional time derivative implies a loss of diffusive agent mass, which is compensated for by the source of this agent at the origin. In contrast, the absence of the normalization conservation constraint does not lead to any divergences in the limit r-->0 and at the same time provides the decay of normalization.

Abstract
We investigate the macroscopic diffusion of carriers in the multiple-trapping (MT) regime, in relation with electron transport in nanoscaled heterogeneous systems, and we describe the differences, as well as the similarities, between MT and the continuous-time random walk (CTRW). Diffusion of free carriers in MT can be expressed as a generalized continuity equation based on fractional time derivatives, while the CTRW model for diffusive transport generalizes the constitutive equation for the carrier flux.

Abstract
Continuous time random walks model anomalous diffusion. Coupling allows the magnitude of particle jumps to depend on the waiting time between jumps. Governing equations for the long-time scaling limits of these models are found to have fractional powers of coupled space and time differential operators. Explicit solutions and scaling properties are presented for these equations, which can be used to model flow in porous media and other physical systems.

Abstract
We propose diffusionlike equations with time and space fractional derivatives of the distributed order for the kinetic description of anomalous diffusion and relaxation phenomena, whose diffusion exponent varies with time and which, correspondingly, cannot be viewed as self-affine random processes possessing a unique Hurst exponent. We prove the positivity of the solutions of the proposed equations and establish their relation to the continuous-time random walk theory. We show that the distributed-order time fractional diffusion equation describes the subdiffusion random process that is subordinated to the Wiener process and whose diffusion exponent decreases in time (retarding subdiffusion). This process may lead to superslow diffusion, with the mean square displacement growing logarithmically in time. We also demonstrate that the distributed-order space fractional diffusion equation describes superdiffusion phenomena with the diffusion exponent increasing in time (accelerating superdiffusion).

Abstract
Recently, Metzler et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 3563 (1999)], introduced a fractional Fokker-Planck equation (FFPE) describing a subdiffusive behavior of a particle under the combined influence of external nonlinear force field, and a Boltzmann thermal heat bath. In this paper we present the solution of the FFPE in terms of an integral transformation. The transformation maps the solution of ordinary Fokker-Planck equation onto the solution of the FFPE, and is based on Lévy's generalized central limit theorem. The meaning of the transformation is explained based on the known asymptotic solution of the continuous time random walk (CTRW). We investigate in detail (i) a force-free particle, (ii) a particle in a uniform field, and (iii) a particle in a harmonic field. We also find an exact solution of the CTRW, and compare the CTRW result with the corresponding solution of the FFPE. The relation between the fractional first passage time problem in an external nonlinear field and the corresponding integer first passage time is given. An example of the one-dimensional fractional first passage time in an external linear field is investigated in detail. The FFPE is shown to be compatible with the Scher-Montroll approach for dispersive transport, and thus is applicable in a large variety of disordered systems. The simple FFPE approach can be used as a practical tool for a phenomenological description of certain types of complicated transport phenomena.

Abstract
The transport and relaxation properties of a molecular supercooled liquid on an isobar are studied by molecular dynamics. The molecule is a rigid heteronuclear biatomic system. The diffusivity is fitted over four orders of magnitude by the power law D proportional to (T-T(c))(gamma(D)), with gamma(D)=1.93+/-0.02 and T(c)=0.458+/-0.002. The self-part of the intermediate scattering function F(s)(k(max),t) exhibits a steplike behavior at the lowest temperatures. On cooling, the increase of the related relaxation time tau(alpha) tracks the diffusivity, i.e., tau(alpha) proportional to (k(2)(max)D)(-1). At the lowest temperatures, fractions of highly mobile and trapped molecules are also evidenced. Translational jumps are also evidenced. The duration of the jumps exhibits a distribution. The distribution of the waiting times before a jump takes place, psi(t), is exponential at higher temperatures. At lower temperatures a power-law divergence is evidenced at short times, psi(t) proportional to t(xi-1) with 0<xi<or=1, which is ascribed to intermittency. The shear viscosity is fitted by the power law eta proportional to (T-T(c))(gamma(eta)), with gamma(eta)=-2.20+/-0.03 at the lowest temperatures. At higher temperatures the Stokes-Einstein relation fits the data if stick boundary conditions are assumed. The product D eta/T increases at lower temperatures, and the Stokes-Einstein relation breaks down at a temperature which is close to the one where the intermittency is evidenced by psi(t). A precursor effect of the breakdown is observed, which manifests itself as an apparent stick-slip transition.

Abstract
The rotational dynamics of a supercooled model liquid of rigid A-B dumbbells interacting via a Lennard-Jones potential is investigated along one single isobar. The time-temperature superposition principle, one key prediction of mode-coupling theory (MCT), was studied for the orientational correlation functions C(l). In agreement with previous studies we found that the scaling of C(l) in a narrow region at long times is better at high-l values. However, on a wider time interval the scaling works fairly better at low-l values. Consistently, we observed the remarkable temperature dependence of the rotational correlation time tau(1) as a power law in T-T(c) over more than three orders of magnitude and the increasing deviations from that law on increasing l (T(c) is the MCT critical temperature). For 0.7<T<2, good agreement with the diffusion model is found. For lower temperatures the agreement becomes poorer, and the results are also only partially accounted for by the jump-rotation model. The angular Van Hove function shows that in this region a meaningful fraction of the sample reorientates by jumps of about 180 degrees. The distribution of the waiting times in the angular sites cuts exponentially at long times. At lower temperatures it decays at short times as t(xi-1), with xi=0.34+/-0.04 at T=0.5, in analogy with the translational case. The breakdown of the Debye-Stokes-Einstein relation is observed at lower temperatures, where the rotational correlation times diverge more weakly than the viscosity.

Abstract
We consider the d=1 nonlinear Fokker-Planck-like equation with fractional derivatives ( partial differential/ partial differentialt)P(x,t)=D( partial differential(gamma)/ partial differentialx(gamma))[P(x,t)](nu). Exact time-dependent solutions are found for nu=(2-gamma)/(1+gamma)(-infinity<gamma</=2). By considering the long-distance asymptotic behavior of these solutions, a connection is established, namely, q=(gamma+3)/(gamma+1)(0<gamma</=2), with the solutions optimizing the nonextensive entropy characterized by index q. Interestingly enough, this relation coincides with the one already known for Levy-like superdiffusion (i.e., nu=1 and 0<gamma</=2). Finally, for (gamma,nu)=(2,0) we obtain q=5/3, which differs from the value q=2 corresponding to the gamma=2 solutions available in the literature (nu<1 porous medium equation), thus exhibiting nonuniform convergence.

Abstract
Fractional generalization of the diffusion equation includes fractional derivatives with respect to time and coordinate. It had been introduced to describe anomalous kinetics of simple dynamical systems with chaotic motion. We consider a symmetrized fractional diffusion equation with a source and find different asymptotic solutions applying a method which is similar to the method of separation of variables. The method has a clear physical interpretation presenting the solution in a form of decomposition of the process of fractal Brownian motion and Levy-type process. Fractional generalization of the Kolmogorov-Feller equation is introduced and its solutions are analyzed. (c) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
