Abstract

Following continuous-time random-walk dynamics, we consider particle diffusion and trapping on fractals, and study the interplay of the spatial (α) and temporal (γ) stochastic aspects. At long times and for broad waiting-time distributions the mean squared displacement behaves as r2(t)tαγ, whereas the particle decay is algebraic, Φ(t)tγ.
