Simulation of the continuous time random walk of the space-fractional diffusion equations. (English) Zbl 1153.65007
Summary: We discuss the solution of the space-fractional diffusion equation with and without central linear drift in the Fourier domain and show the strong connection between it and the $\alpha$-stable Lévy distribution, $0<\alpha <2$. We use some relevant transformations of the independent variables $x$ and $t$, to find the solution of the space-fractional diffusion equation with central linear drift which is a special form of the space-fractional Fokker-Planck equation which is useful in studying the dynamic behaviour of stochastic differential equations driven by the non-Gaussian (Lévy) noises. We simulate the continuous time random walk of these models by using the Monte Carlo method.
