Continuous-time random walks incorporate a random waiting time between random jumps. They are used in physics to model particle motion. A physically realistic rescaling uses two different time scales for the mean waiting time and the deviation from the mean. This paper derives the scaling limits for such processes. These limit processes are governed by fractional partial differential equations that may be useful in physics. A transfer theorem for weak convergence of finite-dimensional distributions of stochastic processes is also obtained.

Continuous Time Random Walks

We address the problem of subdiusion or normal diusion to perform a calibration between the parameters used in simulation and the parameters of a subdifusive model. The theoretical model is written as a generalized diusion equation with fractional derivatives in time. The data is generated by simulations consisting of continuous-time random walks with controlled mean waiting time and jump length variance to provide a full range of cases between subdiusion andnormal diusion. From the simulations, we compare the accuracy of two methods to obtain the diusion constant, the order of fractional derivatives: the analysis of the dispersion of the variance in time and the optimization tting of theoretical model solutions to histogram of positions. We highlight the connection between the parameters of the simulations the parameters of the theoretical models.

Continuous Time Random Walks

We present a class of continuous-time random walks (CTRWs), in which random jumps are separated by random waiting times. The novel feature of these CTRWs is that the jumps are clustered. This introduces a coupled effect, with longer waiting times separating larger jump clusters. We show that the CTRW scaling limits are time-changed processes. Their densities solve two different fractional diffusion equations, depending on whether the waiting time is coupled to the preceding jump, or the following one. These fractional diffusion equations can be used to model all types of experimentally observed two power-law relaxation patterns. The parameters of the scaling limit process determine the power-law exponents and loss peak frequencies.
