Weakly driven anomalous diffusion in non-ergodic regime: an analytical solution

Abstract

We derive the probability density of a diffusion process generated by nonergodic velocity fluctuations in presence of a weak potential, using the Liouville equation approach. The velocity of the diffusing particle undergoes dichotomic fluctuations with a given distribution $\psi (\tau )$ of residence times in each velocity state. We obtain analytical solutions for the diffusion process in a generic external potential and for a generic statistics of residence times, including the non-ergodic regime in which the mean residence time diverges. We show that these analytical solutions are in agreement with numerical simulations.
