A prominent example for a subdiffusive-diffusive crossover are viscoelastic systems such as lipid bilayer membranes, while superdiffusive-diffusive crossovers occur in systems of actively moving biological cells. We here consider the general dynamics of a stochastic particle driven by so-called tempered fractional Gaussian noise, that is noise with Gaussian amplitude and power-law correlations, which are cut off at some mesoscopic time scale. Concretely we consider such noise with built-in exponential or power-law tempering, driving an overdamped Langevin equation (fractional Brownian motion) and fractional Langevin equation motion. We derive explicit expressions for the mean squared displacement and correlation functions, including different shapes of the crossover behaviour depending on the concrete tempering, and discuss the physical meaning of the tempering. In the case of power-law tempering we also find a crossover behaviour from faster to slower superdiffusion and slower to faster subdiffusion. As a direct application of our model we demonstrate that the obtained dynamics quantitatively describes the subdiffusion-diffusion and subdiffusion-subdiffusion crossover in lipid bilayer systems. We also show that a model of tempered fractional Brownian motion recently proposed by Sabzikar and Meerschaert leads to physically very different behaviour with a seemingly paradoxical ballistic long time scaling.}, language = {en} } @article{SandevTomovskiDubbeldametal.2018, author = {Sandev, Trifce and Tomovski, Zivorad and Dubbeldam, Johan L.

We consider different memory kernels of the integro-differential operator, derive corresponding fundamental solutions, specify the conditions of their non-negativity and calculate the mean squared displacement for all cases. In particular, we introduce and study generalized diffusion-wave equations with a regularized Prabhakar derivative of single and distributed orders. The equations considered can be used for modeling the broad spectrum of anomalous diffusion processes and various transitions between different diffusion regimes.}, language = {en} } @article{SandevMetzlerChechkin2018, author = {Sandev, Trifce and Metzler, Ralf and Chechkin, Aleksei V.}, title = {From continuous time random walks to the generalized diffusion equation}, series = {Fractional calculus and applied analysis : an international journal for theory and applications}, volume = {21}, journal = {Fractional calculus and applied analysis : an international journal for theory and applications}, number = {1}, publisher = {De Gruyter}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {1311-0454}, doi = {10.1515/fca-2018-0002}, pages = {10 -- 28}, year = {2018}, abstract = {We obtain a generalized diffusion equation in modified or Riemann-Liouville form from continuous time random walk theory.
