Abstract
In many cases anomalous diffusion processesexhibit a bi-fractal property. For example active transport in the cell breaks the basic concepts of scaling.In the presence of ATP , $q>0$ moments of the tracer particle displacement$\langle |x|^q \rangle$, increase eithersuper-diffusively or quasi ballistically for values of $q$ below or abovea critical value $q_c$ respectively. This dual nature of the transport isfound in many systems including deterministic modelslike the Lorentz gas [1] and stochastic approaches like the L\’evy walk. Given thatstandard fractional diffusion equationsfail to describe this widely observed bi-scalingwe investigate the problem using the widely applicable L\’evy walk model. We showthat non-normalised infinite densities are complementary to the standard L’evy-Gauss central limittheorems in the statistical description of the process [2.3].
