Probability distribution functions of sub- and superdiffusive systems

Abstract

We study the anomalous transport in systems of random walks (RW's) on comb-like lattices with fractal sidebranches, showing subdiffusion, and in a system of Brownian particles driven by a random shear along the x-direction, showing a superdiffusive behavior. In particular, we discuss whether scaling and universality are present or not in the shapes of the particle distribution along the preferential transport direction (x-axis).
