Anomalous Diffusion and Relaxation Close to Thermal Equilibrium: A Fractional Fokker-Planck Equation Approach

Metzler, Ralf, Barkai, Eli, Klafter, Joseph·1999·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

We introduce a fractional Fokker-Planck equation describing the stochastic evolution of a particle under the combined influence of an external, nonlinear force and a thermal heat bath. For the force-free case, a subdiffusive behavior is recovered. The equation is shown to obey generalized Einstein relations, and its stationary solution is the Boltzmann distribution. The relaxation of single modes is shown to follow a Mittag-Leffler decay. We discuss the example of a particle in a harmonic potential.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
