Abstract:
We study continuous-time random walks (CTRW) with power-law distribution of waiting times under resetting which brings the walker back to the origin, with a power-law distribution of times between the resetting events. Two situations are considered. Under complete resetting, the CTRW after the resetting event starts anew, with a new waiting time, independent of the prehistory. Under incomplete resetting, the resetting of the coordinate does not influence the waiting time until the next jump. We focus on the behavior of the mean-squared displacement (MSD) of the walker from its initial position, on the conditions under which the probability density functions of the walker's displacement show universal behavior, and on this universal behavior itself. We show, that the behavior of the MSD is the same as in the scaled Brownian motion (SBM), being the mean-field model of the CTRW. The intermediate asymptotics of the probability density functions (PDF) for CTRW under complete resetting (provided they exist) are also the same as in the corresponding case for SBM. For incomplete resetting, however, the behavior of the PDF for CTRW and SBM is vastly different.

Random Variables
Uppercase letters such as X or Y denote a random variable. Lowercase letters like x or y denote the value of a random variable. If X is a random variable, then X is written in words, and x is given as a number.
For example, let X = the...

The unit step function, denoted u(t), is zero for negative time values and one for positive time values, exhibiting a discontinuity at t=0. This function often represents abrupt changes, such as the step voltage introduced when turning a car's...

Basic Discrete Time Signals
The unit impulse or sample sequence is mathematically expressed as zero for all n values except at n=0, where it is one. The unit impulse sequence, denoted by δ(n), is the first difference of the unit step sequence, while the unit step sequence u(n) is the...
