Anomalous diffusion originated by two Markovian hopping-trap mechanisms
(2022)
We show through intensive simulations that the paradigmatic
features of anomalous diffusion are indeed the features of
a (continuous-time) random walk driven by two different Markovian hopping-trap mechanisms.
If $p ...
Fractional Diffusion and Medium Heterogeneity: The Case of the Continuos Time Random Walk
(2021-07-24)
In this contribution we show that fractional diffusion emerges from a simple Markovian Gaussian random walk when the medium displays a power-law heterogeneity. Within the framework of the continuous time random walk, the ...
A hypothesis about parallelism vs. seriality in dreams
(2019-10-10)
The current article discusses the hypothesis about parallelism vs. Seriality in dreams. The process of dream building implies the construction of a complex network of closely interrelated sources. On the other hand, the ...
Gaussian processes in complex media: new vistas on anomalous diffusion
(2019-09)
Normal or Brownian diffusion is historically identified by the linear growth in time of the variance and by a Gaussian shape of the displacement distribution. Processes departing from the at least one of the above conditions ...
Finite-energy Lévy-type motion through heterogeneous ensemble of Brownian particles
(2019-02-01)
Complex systems are known to display anomalous diffusion, whose signature is a space/time scaling $x \sim t^\delta$ with $\delta \neq 1/2$ in the probability density function (PDF). Anomalous diffusion can emerge jointly ...
Centre-of-mass like superposition of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes: A pathway to non-autonomous stochastic differential equations and to fractional diffusion
(2018-10-25)
We consider an ensemble of Ornstein–Uhlenbeck processes featuring a population of relaxation times and a population of noise amplitudes that characterize the heterogeneity of the ensemble. We show that the centre-of-mass ...
Langevin equation in complex media and anomalous diffusion
(2018-07-30)
The problem of biological motion is a very intriguing and topical issue.
Many efforts are being focused on the development of novel modelling
approaches for the description of anomalous diffusion in biological systems,
such ...
The challenge of brain complexity: A brief discussion about a fractal intermittency-based approach
(2016-10-30)
In the last years, the complexity paradigm is gaining momentum in many research fields where large multidimensional datasets are made available by the advancements in instrumental technology. A complex system is a ...
Fractional kinetics emerging from ergodicity breaking in random media
(2016)
We present a modelling approach for diffusion in a complex medium characterized by a random lengthscale. The resulting stochastic process shows subdiffusion with a behavior in qualitative agreement with single particle ...
Scaling law of diffusivity generated by a noisy telegraph signal with fractal intermittency
(2015-12-31)
In many complex systems the non-linear cooperative dynamics determine the emergence of self-organized, metastable, structures that are associated with a birth-death process of cooperation. This is found to be described by ...
