Brownian non-Gaussian polymer diffusion in non-static media.

Abstract

In nature, essentially, almost all the particles move irregularly in non-static media. With the advance of observation techniques, various kinds of new dynamical phenomena are detected, e.g., Brownian non-Gaussian diffusion. This paper focuses on the dynamical behavior of the center of mass (CM) of a polymer in non-static media and investigates the effect of polymer size fluctuations on the diffusion behavior. First, we establish a diffusing diffusivity model for polymer size fluctuations, linking the polymer size variation to the birth and death process, and introduce co-moving and physical coordinate systems to characterize the position of the CM for a polymer in non-static media. Next, the important statistical quantities for the CM diffusing diffusivity model in non-static media, such as mean square displacement (MSD) and kurtosis, are obtained by adopting the subordinate process approach, and the long-time asymptotic behavior of the MSD in the media of different types is specifically analyzed. Finally, the bivariate Fokker-Planck equation and the Feynman-Kac equation corresponding to the diffusing diffusivity model are detailedly derived and solved through the deep backward stochastic differential equation (BSDE) method to confirm the correctness of the derived equations.
