Anomalous diffusion in run-and-tumble motion

Abstract

A random walk scheme, consisting of alternating phases of regular Brownian motion and Lévy walks, is proposed as a model for run-and-tumble bacterial motion. Within the continuous-time random walk approach we obtain the long-time and short-time behavior of the mean squared displacement of the walker as depending on the properties of dwelling time distribution in each phase. Depending on these distributions, normal diffusion, superdiffusion and ballistic spreading may arise.
