They instead generate a broad class of anomalous nonscaling patterns, which correspond either to crossovers between different power laws, or to a non-power-law behavior as exemplified by the logarithmic growth of the width of the distribution. We consider normal and modified forms of these generalized diffusion equations and provide a brief discussion of three generic types of integral kernels for each form, namely, distributed order, truncated power law and truncated distributed order kernels. For each of the cases considered we prove the non-negativity of the solution of the corresponding generalized diffusion equation and calculate the mean squared displacement. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd.
