Previous work showed how moving particles that rest along their trajectory lead to time-nonlocal advection–dispersion equations. If the waiting times have infinite mean, the model equation contains a fractional time derivative of order between 0 and 1. In this article, we develop a new...

A continuous time random walk model is presented with long-tailed waiting time density that approaches a Gaussian distribution in the continuum limit. This example shows that continuous time random walks with long time tails and diffusion equations with a fractional time derivative are in...
