Fractional Fokker-Planck dynamics:: Numerical algorithm and simulations

Anomalous transport in a tilted periodic potential is investigated numerically within the framework of the fractional Fokker-Planck dynamics via the underlying continuous-time random walk. An efficient numerical algorithm is developed which is applicable for an arbitrary potential. This algorithm is then applied to investigate the fractional current and the corresponding nonlinear mobility in different washboard potentials. Normal and fractional diffusion are compared through their time evolution of the probability density in state space. Moreover, we discuss the stationary probability density of the fractional current values.
