Mean number of visits to sites in Levy flights

Abstract

Formulas are derived to compute the mean number of times a site has been visited during symmetric Levy flights. Unrestricted Levy flights are considered first, for lattices of any dimension: conditions for the existence of finite asymptotic maps of the visits over the lattice are analysed and a connection is made with the transience of the flight. In particular it is shown that flights on lattices of dimension greater than one are always transient. For an interval with absorbing boundaries the mean number of visits reaches stationary values, which are computed by means of numerical and analytical methods; comparisons with Monte Carlo simulations are also presented.
