Universal singularities of anomalous diffusion in the Richardson class
arxiv(2023)
摘要
Inhomogeneous environments are rather ubiquitous in nature, often implying anomalies resulting in deviation from Gaussianity of diffusion processes. While sub-and superdiffusion are usually due to contrasting envi-ronmental features (hindering or favoring the motion, respectively), they are both observed in systems ranging from the micro-to the cosmological scale. Here we show how a model encompassing sub-and superdiffusion in an inhomogeneous environment exhibits a critical singularity in the normalized generator of the cumulants. The singularity originates directly and exclusively from the asymptotics of the non-Gaussian scaling function of displacement, and the independence from other details confers it a universal character. Our analysis, based on the method first applied by Stella et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 130, 207104 (2023)], shows that the relation connecting the scaling function asymptotics to the diffusion exponent characteristic of processes in the Richardson class implies a nonstandard extensivity in time of the cumulant generator. Numerical tests fully confirm the results.
