*Convergence of linear superposition of Langevin-driven Brownian particles **to the fractional Brownian motion*

Abstract:

A heterogeneous ensemble of Brownian particles governed by the Langevin equation is considered. The heterogeneity of the ensemble is characterised by a population of friction coefficients. When the frequency histogram of the friction coefficients decreases with a proper power-law, the linear superposition of these Brownian trajectories converges to the fractional Brownian motion. This construction of the fractional Brownian motion provides a dynamical framework that allows for physical perspectives. In this respect, this results is first connected with the so-called generalized gray Brownian motion and later the application for modelling anomalous diffusion in biological systems is discussed.

The first part of the seminar is based on a research in collaboration with Mirko D'Ovidio whose results are still work in progress, and the second part is based on:
