Path Laplacian operators and superdiffusive processes on graphs. II. Two-dimensional lattice

Abstract

In this paper we consider a generalized diffusion equation on a square lattice corresponding to Mellin transforms of the $k$-path Laplacian. In particular, we prove that superdiffusion occurs when the parameter $s$ in the Mellin transform is in the interval $(2,4)$ and that normal diffusion prevails when $s>4$.
