摘要
We introduce a fractional Fokker-Planck equation describing the stochastic evolution of a particle under the combined influence of an external, nonlinear force and a thermal heat bath. For the force-free case, a subdiffusive behavior is recovered. The equation is shown to obey generalized Einstein relations, and its stationary solution is the Boltzmann distribution. The relaxation of single modes is shown to follow a Mittag-Leffler decay. We discuss the example of a particle in a harmonic potential. [S0031-9007(99)09071-7].
