Zola RS, Lenzi EK, da Silva LR, Lenzi MK. Entropy Production in a Fractal System with Diffusive Dynamics. ENTROPY (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 25:1578. [PMID: 38136458 PMCID: PMC10742906 DOI: 10.3390/e25121578] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2023] [Revised: 11/09/2023] [Accepted: 11/22/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023]
Abstract
We study the entropy production in a fractal system composed of two subsystems, each of which is subjected to an external force. This is achieved by using the H-theorem on the nonlinear Fokker-Planck equations (NFEs) characterizing the diffusing dynamics of each subsystem. In particular, we write a general NFE in terms of Hausdorff derivatives to take into account the metric of each system. We have also investigated some solutions from the analytical and numerical point of view. We demonstrate that each subsystem affects the total entropy and how the diffusive process is anomalous when the fractal nature of the system is considered.

Non-Local Kinetics: Revisiting and Updates Emphasizing Fractional Calculus Applications. Symmetry (Basel) 2023.

Abstract
Non-local kinetic problems spanning a wide area of problems where fractional calculus is applicable have been analyzed. Classical fractional kinetics based on the Continuum Time Random Walk diffusion model with the absence of stationary states, real-world problems from pharmacokinetics, and modern material processing have been reviewed. Fractional allometry has been considered a potential area of application. The main focus in the analysis has been paid to the memory functions in the convolution formulation, crossing from the classical power law to versions of the Mittag-Leffler function. The main idea is to revisit the non-local kinetic problems with an update updating on new issues relevant to new trends in fractional calculus.

Abstract
We study generalized Cattaneo (telegrapher's) equations involving memory effects introduced by smearing the time derivatives. Consistency conditions where the smearing functions obey restrict freedom in their choice but the proposed scheme goes beyond the approach based on using fractional derivatives. We find conditions under which solutions of the equations considered so far can be recognized as probability distributions, i.e., are normalizable and nonnegative on their domains. Nonnegativity of solutions is demonstrated by methods of positive definite and completely monotonic functions with the Bernstein theorem being the cornerstone of the ongoing proofs. Analysis of exactly solvable examples and relevant mean-squared displacements enables us to classify diffusion processes described by such got solutions and to identify them with either ordinary or anomalous diffusion which character may change over time. To complete the present research we compare our results with those obtained using the continuous-time random-walk and the continuous-time persistent random-walk approaches.

Abstract
The behavior of a stochastic perfect integrate-and-fire (PIF) model of neurons is considered. The effect of temporally correlated random activity of synaptic inputs is modeled as a combination of an asymmetric dichotomous noise and a random operation time in the form of an inverse strictly increasing Lévy-type subordinator. Using a first-passage-time formulation, we find exact expressions for the output interspike interval (ISI) statistics. Particularly, it is shown that at some parameter regimes the ISI density exhibits a multimodal structure. Moreover, it is demonstrated that the coefficient of variation, the serial correlation coefficient, and the Fano factor display a nonmonotonic dependence on the mean input current μ, i.e., the ISI's regularity is maximized at an intermediate value of μ. The features of spike statistics, analytically revealed in our study, are compared with previously obtained results for a perfect integrate-and-fire neuron model driven by dichotomous noise (without subordination).

Abstract
We investigate a connection between random walks and nonlinear diffusion equations within the framework proposed by Einstein to explain the Brownian motion. We show here how to properly modify that framework in order to handle different physical scenarios. We obtain solutions for nonlinear diffusion equations that emerge from the random walk approach and analyse possible connections with a generalized thermostatistics formalism. Finally, we conclude that fractal and fractional derivatives may emerge in the context of nonlinear diffusion equations, depending on the choice of distribution functions related to the spreading of systems.

Abstract
In this work, we show that it is possible to obtain important ubiquitous physical characteristics when an aggregation of many systems is taken into account. We discuss the possibility of obtaining not only an anomalous diffusion process, but also a Non-Linear diffusion equation, that leads to a probability distribution, when using a set of non-Markovian processes. This probability distribution shows a power law behavior in the structure of its tails. It also reflects the anomalous transport characteristics of the ensemble of particles. This ubiquitous behavior, with a power law in the diffusive transport and the structure of the probability distribution, is related to a fast fluctuating phenomenon presented in the noise parameter. We discuss all the previous results using a financial time series example.

Abstract
We present a generalmodel based on fractional diffusion equation coupled with a kinetic equation through the boundary condition. It covers several scenarios that may be characterized by usual or anomalous diffusion or present relaxation processes on the surface with non-Debye characteristics. A particular case of this model is used to investigate the experimental data obtained from the drug release of the capsaicinoids-loaded Poly (ε-caprolactone) microparticles. These considerations lead us to a good agreement with experimental data and to the conjecture that the burst effect, i.e., an initial large bolus of drug is released before the release rate reaches a stable profile, may be related to an anomalous diffusion manifested by the system.

Abstract
The Gaussian Diffusion Approximation proposes that the distribution of displacements Δx for a particle diffusing through a complex fluid has a Gaussian dependence on Δx. We demonstrate from experimental evidence and computer simulations that this approximation is generally incorrect in complex fluids. As a result, experimental studies that have used the Gaussian Diffusion Approximation to interpret their findings will need to be reconsidered.
