TY - JOUR A1 - Metzler, Ralf A1 - Jeon, Jae-Hyung T1 - The role of ergodicity in anomalous stochastic processes - analysis of single-particle trajectories T2 - Physica scripta : an international journal for experimental and theoretical physics N2 - Single-particle experiments produce time series x(t) of individual particle trajectories, frequently revealing anomalous diffusion behaviour. Typically, individual x(t) are evaluated in terms of time-averaged quantities instead of ensemble averages. Here we discuss the behaviour of the time-averaged mean squared displacement of different stochastic processes giving rise to anomalous diffusion. In particular, we pay attention to the ergodic properties of these processes, i.e. the (non)equivalence of time and ensemble averages.
