Mutations as Levy flights [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Data from a long time evolution experiment with Escherichia Coli and from a large study on copy number variations in subjects with European ancestry are analyzed in order to argue that mutations can be described as Levy flights in the mutation space ...

Lévy Flights Diffusion with Drift in Heterogeneous Membranes [PDF]
Membranes, 2023 The modelling of diffusion in membranes is essential to understanding transport processes through membranes, especially when it comes to improving process efficiency. The purpose of this study is to understand the relationship between membrane structures,

Adaptive Lévy processes and area-restricted search in human foraging. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 A considerable amount of research has claimed that animals' foraging behaviors display movement lengths with power-law distributed tails, characteristic of Lévy flights and Lévy walks.

A Multi-Verse Optimizer with Levy Flights for Numerical Optimization and Its Application in Test Scheduling for Network-on-Chip. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 We propose a new meta-heuristic algorithm named Levy flights multi-verse optimizer (LFMVO), which incorporates Levy flights into multi-verse optimizer (MVO) algorithm to solve numerical and engineering optimization problems. The Original MVO easily falls

Spreading depression sends microglia on Lévy flights. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Spreading depression (SD) is thought to cause migraine aura, and perhaps migraine, and includes a transient loss of synaptic activity preceded and followed by increased neuronal excitability.

aRNAque: an evolutionary algorithm for inverse pseudoknotted RNA folding inspired by Lévy flights [PDF]
BMC Bioinformatics, 2022 Background We study in this work the inverse folding problem for RNA, which is the discovery of sequences that fold into given target secondary structures.

Lévy flights and self-similar exploratory behaviour of termite workers: beyond model fitting. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Animal movements have been related to optimal foraging strategies where self-similar trajectories are central. Most of the experimental studies done so far have focused mainly on fitting statistical models to data in order to test for movement patterns ...

Lévy Flight Model of Gaze Trajectories to Assist in ADHD Diagnoses [PDF]
EntropyThe precise mathematical description of gaze patterns remains a topic of ongoing debate, impacting the practical analysis of eye-tracking data. In this context, we present evidence supporting the appropriateness of a Lévy flight description for eye-gaze ...

Two-Species Reaction-Diffusion System: the Effect of Long-Range Spreading [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2020 We study fluctuation effects in the two-species reaction-diffusion system A + B → Ø and A + A → (Ø, A). In contrast to the usually assumed ordinary short-range diffusion spreading of the reactants we consider anomalous diffusion due to microscopic long ...

Anomalies of Lévy-based thermal transport from the Lévy-Fokker-Planck equation
AIMS Mathematics, 2021 Lévy-type behaviors are widely involved in anomalous thermal transport, yet generic investigations based on the mathematical descriptions of the confined Lévy flights are still lacking.
