解释异常扩散现象的一个难点是如何从马尔可夫相关随机漫步过程中识别尺度不变超扩散。在这里,我们提出了一个可以区分这两种随机漫步的标准,并描述了它在解释实际数据时的有用性。为此,我们估计了一般相关随机漫步的方向持久性的相关时间tau。如果实验观察到的随机游走在大于τ的尺度上呈现扩散,则该数据不能支持超扩散的可能性。我们认为该判据是建立真超扩散行为的必要条件,但不是充分条件。
A difficulty in interpreting phenomena related to anomalous diffusion concerns how to identify scale invariant superdiffusive from Markovian correlated random walk processes. Here we propose a criterion that can distinguish between these two kinds of random walks and describe its usefulness in interpreting real data. To do so, we estimate the correlation time tau of the orientation persistence of a general correlated random walk. If the experimentally observed random walk appears diffusive on scales larger than tau, then the data cannot support the possibility of superdiffusion. We argue that the criterion is a necessary but not sufficient condition for establishing true superdiffusive behavior.
