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. 1) E. Heinsalu, M. Patriarca, I. Goychuk, and P.
