Abstract

Lévy walk process is one of the most effective models to describe superdiffusion, which underlies some important movement patterns and has been widely observed in micro- and macrodynamics. From the perspective of random walk theory, here we investigate the dynamics of Lévy walks under the influences of the constant force field and the one combined with harmonic potential. Utilizing Hermite polynomial approximation to deal with the spatiotemporally coupled analysis challenges, some striking features are detected, including non-Gaussian stationary distribution, faster diffusion, still strongly anomalous diffusion, etc.
