Antipersistent random walks in time-delayed systems.

We show that the occurrence of chaotic diffusion in a typical class of time-delayed systems with linear instantaneous and nonlinear delayed term can be well described by an antipersistent random walk. We numerically investigate the dependence of all relevant quantities characterizing the random walk on the strength of the nonlinearity and on the delay. With the help of analytical considerations, we show that for a decreasing nonlinearity parameter the resulting dependence of the diffusion coefficient is well described by Markov processes of increasing order.

Chaotic Diffusion in Delay Systems: Giant Enhancement by Time Lag Modulation.

We consider a typical class of systems with delayed nonlinearity, which we show to exhibit chaotic diffusion. It is demonstrated that a periodic modulation of the time lag can lead to an enhancement of the diffusion constant by several orders of magnitude. This effect is the largest if the circle map defined by the modulation shows mode locking and, more specifically, fulfills the conditions for laminar chaos.

Nonergodicity of d-dimensional generalized Lévy walks and their relation to other space-time coupled models.

We investigate the nonergodicity of the generalized Lévy walk introduced by Shlesinger et al. [Phys. Rev.

Random walks of trains of dissipative solitons.

The propagation of light pulses in dual-core nonlinear optical fibers is studied using a model proposed by Sakaguchi and Malomed. The system consists of a supercritical complex Ginzburg-Landau equation coupled to a linear equation. Our analysis includes single standing and walking solitons as well as walking trains of 3, 5, 6, and 12 solitons.

Normal and anomalous random walks of 2-d solitons.

Solitons, which describe the propagation of concentrated beams of light through nonlinear media, can exhibit a variety of behaviors as a result of the intrinsic dissipation, diffraction, and the nonlinear effects. One of these phenomena, modeled by the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation, is chaotic explosions, transient enlargements of the soliton that may induce random transversal displacements, which in the long run lead to a random walk of the soliton center. As we show in this work, the transition from nonmoving to moving solitons is not a simple bifurcation but includes a sequence of normal and anomalous random walks.

Exact Results for the Nonergodicity of d-Dimensional Generalized Lévy Walks.

We provide analytical results for the ensemble-averaged and time-averaged squared displacement, and the randomness of the latter, in the full two-dimensional parameter space of the d-dimensional generalized Lévy walk introduced by Shlesinger et al. [Phys. Rev.

Anomalous Diffusion of Dissipative Solitons in the Cubic-Quintic Complex Ginzburg-Landau Equation in Two Spatial Dimensions.

We demonstrate the occurrence of anomalous diffusion of dissipative solitons in a "simple" and deterministic prototype model: the cubic-quintic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation in two spatial dimensions. The main features of their dynamics, induced by symmetric-asymmetric explosions, can be modeled by a subdiffusive continuous-time random walk, while in the case dominated by only asymmetric explosions, it becomes characterized by normal diffusion.

Weak ergodicity breaking and aging of chaotic transport in Hamiltonian systems.

Momentum diffusion is a widespread phenomenon in generic Hamiltonian systems. We show for the prototypical standard map that this implies weak ergodicity breaking for the superdiffusive transport in coordinate direction with an averaging-dependent quadratic and cubic increase of the mean-squared displacement (MSD), respectively. This is explained via integrated Brownian motion, for which we derive aging time dependent expressions for the ensemble-averaged MSD, the distribution of time-averaged MSDs, and the ergodicity breaking parameter.
