Abstract:
The term ‘anomalous diffusion’ is used by physicists to describe systems where the mean square deviation of randomly diffusing particle is sublinear in n. I will describe the mathematical treatment of anomalous diffusion on deterministic graphs, and also some random graphs arising from models in statistical physics.
