Abstract

We propose a random walk model with q-exponentially decaying memory profile. The q-exponential function is a generalization of the ordinary exponential function. In the limit q -> 1, the q-exponential becomes the ordinary exponential function. This model presents a Markovian diffusive regime that is characterized by finite memory correlations. It is well known, that central limit theorems prohibit superdiffusion for Markovian walks with finite variance of step sizes. In this problem we report the outcome of a transient superdiffusion for finite sized walks. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. (AU)
