Abstract
We discuss the fractional Fokker-Planck dynamics and the
underlying continuous time random walk in time-varying potential
landscapes. We disclose the failure of the widely used fractional
Fokker-Planck equation (FFPE) when generalized ad hoc to
time-dependent forces. A generalized FFPE is presented, valid for
a family of alternating force-fields. It is tested for a
rectangular time-dependent force. As an interesting result, for
such a force with zero average bias, subdiffusion is shown to
become enhanced compared with the force free case 1.
