Fractional Langevin equations of distributed order

Abstract

Distributed-order fractional Langevin-like equations are introduced and applied to describe anomalous diffusion without unique diffusion or scaling exponent. It is shown that these fractional Langevin equations of distributed order can be used to model the kinetics of retarding subdiffusion whose scaling exponent decreases with time and the strongly anomalous ultraslow diffusion with mean square displacement which varies asymptotically as a power of logarithm of time.
