Diffusion regimes in Levy flights with trapping

Abstract

The diffusion of a walk in the presence of traps is investigated. Different diffusion regimes are obtained considering the magnitude of the fluctuations in waiting times and jump distances. A constant velocity during the jump motion is assumed to avoid the divergence of the mean squared displacement. Using the limit theorems of the theory of Levy stable distributions we have provided a characterization of the different diffusion regimes.
