The Role of Fractional Time-Derivative Operators on Anomalous Diffusion

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed to use the generalized diffusion equations with fractional order derivatives to describe the diffusion in complex systems, with the advantage of producing exact expressions for the underlying diffusive properties.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distance to the Scaling Law: A Useful Approach for Unveiling Relationships between Crime and Urban Metrics

TL;DR: It is argued that it is better to employ logarithms in order to describe the number of homicides in function of the urban metrics via regression analysis, and an approach to correlate crime and urban metrics is proposed via the evaluation of the distance between the actual value and the value that is expected by the scaling law with the population size.
Journal ArticleDOI

Statistical mechanics based on Renyi entropy

TL;DR: It is shown that it is possible to obtain a generalized statistical mechanics (thermostatistics) based on Renyi entropy, to be maximized with adequate constraints, and the equilibrium probability distribution thus obtained has a very interesting property.

Fractional Diffusion Equations and Anomalous Diffusion

TL;DR: Anomalous diffusion has been detected in a wide variety of scenarios, from fractal media, systems with memory, transport processes in porous media, to fluctuations of financial markets, tumour growth, and complex fluids.
Journal ArticleDOI

Escape time in anomalous diffusive media.

TL;DR: Analytical predictions are in very good agreement with numerical experiments performed through integration of the associated Ito-Langevin equation, yielding an analytical expression of the mean first-passage time, yielding a generalization of Arrhenius law.
