Fluctuation-dissipation process without a time scale

We study the influence of a dissipation process on diffusion dynamics triggered by fluctuations with long-range correlations. We make the assumption that the perturbation process involved is of the same kind as those recently studied numerically and theoretically, with a good agreement between theory and numerical treatment. As a result of this assumption the equilibrium distribution departs from the ordinary canonical distribution. The distribution tails are truncated, the distribution border is signaled by sharp peaks, and, in the weak dissipation limit, the central distribution body becomes identical to a truncated Levy distribution.

Lévy diffusion as an effect of sporadic randomness.

The Lévy diffusion processes are a form of non-ordinary statistical mechanics resting, however, on the conventional Markov property. As a consequence of this, their dynamic derivation is possible provided that (i) a source of randomness is present in the corresponding microscopic dynamics and (ii) the consequent process of memory erasure is properly taken into account by the theoretical treatment.
