In many physical, social, and economic phenomena, we observe changes in a studied quantity only in discrete, irregularly distributed points in time. The stochastic process usually applied to describe this kind of variable is the continuous-time random walk (CTRW). Despite the popularity of these types of stochastic processes and strong empirical motivation, models with a long-term memory within the sequence of time intervals between observations are rare in the physics literature. Here, we fill this gap by introducing a new family of CTRWs. The memory is introduced to the model by assuming that many consecutive time intervals can be the same. Surprisingly, in this process we can observe a slowly decaying nonlinear autocorrelation function without a fat-tailed distribution of time intervals. Our model, applied to high-frequency stock market data, can successfully describe the slope of decay of the nonlinear autocorrelation function of stock market returns. We achieve this result without imposing any dependence between consecutive price changes. This proves the crucial role of inter-event times in the volatility clustering phenomenon observed in all stock markets.

AbstractThe phenomenology of turbulent relative dispersion is revisited. A heuristic scenario is proposed, in which pairs of tracers undergo a succession of independent ballistic separations during time intervals whose lengths fluctuate. This approach suggests that the logarithm of the distance between tracers self-averages and performs a continuous-time random walk. This leads to specific predictions for the probability distribution of separations, which differ from those obtained using scale-dependent eddy-diffusivity models (e.g. in the framework of Richardson’s approach). These predictions are tested against high-resolution simulations and shed new light on the explosive separation between tracers.

A theory of fractional kinetics of glial cancer cells is presented. A role of the migration-proliferation dichotomy in the fractional cancer cell dynamics in the outer-invasive zone is discussed and explained in the framework of a continuous time random walk. The main suggested model is based on a construction of a 3D comb model, where the migration-proliferation dichotomy becomes naturally apparent and the outer-invasive zone of glioma cancer is considered as a fractal composite with a fractal dimension Dfr< 3.

Within the framework of space-time correlated continuous-time random walk model, anomalous diffusion of particle moving in the velocity field is studied in this paper. The weak asymptotic form ω(t) ∼ t−(1+α); 1 < α < 2 for large t, is considered to be the waiting time distribution. Analytical results reveal that the diffusion in the velocity field, i.e., the mean squared displacement, can display a multi-fractional form caused by dispersive bias and space-time correlation. Numerical results indicate that the multi-fractional diffusion leads to a crossover phenomenon in-between the process at intermediate timescale, followed by a steady state which is always determined by the largest diffusion exponent term. In addition, the role of velocity and weak asymptotics is discussed. The extremely small fluid velocity can make the diffusion to be characterized by diffusion coefficient instead of diffusion exponent, which is distinctly different from the former definition. Especially, for the waiting time displaying weak asymptotic property, if the anomalous part is suppressed by the normal part, a second crossover phenomenon appears at intermediate timescale, followed by a steady normal diffusion, which implies that the anomalies underlying the process are smoothed out at large timescale. Moreover, we discuss that the consideration of bias and correlation could help to avoid a possible not readily noticeable mistake in studying the topic concerned in this paper, which may be helpful for the relevant experimental research.

Let X(t) be the position at time t of a particle undergoing a simple symmetrical random walk in continuous time, i.e. the particle starts at the origin at time t = 0 and at times T1, T1 + T2, … it undergoes jumps ξ1, ξ2, …, where the time intervals T1, T2, … between successive jumps are mutually independent random variables each following the exponential density e–t while the jumps, which are independent of the τi, are mutually independent random variables with the distribution . The process X(t) is clearly a Markov process whose state space is the set of all integers.
