The Weierstrassian movement patterns of snails [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Weierstrassian Lévy walks are the archetypical form of random walk that do not satisfy the central limit theorem and are instead characterized by scale invariance.

Characterizing Human Mobility Patterns in a Large Street Network
, 2009 Previous studies demonstrated empirically that human mobility exhibits Levy flight behaviour. However, our knowledge of the mechanisms governing this Levy flight behaviour remains limited.

Levy flights are not evolved behavior
Nature Precedings, 2011 AbstractTracks of moving animals have many short moves interspersed with longer moves, and frequencies of all moves together often indicate Levy flights (a type of power law)^1^. The Levy flight foraging hypothesis suggests that, 'since Levy flights and walks can optimize search efficiencies, therefore natural selection should have led to adaptations ...

Cuckoo Search via Levy Flights [PDF]
, 2009 In this paper, we intend to formulate a new metaheuristic algorithm, called Cuckoo Search (CS), for solving optimization problems. This algorithm is based on the obligate brood parasitic behaviour of some cuckoo species in combination with the Levy ...

The Lévy Flight of Cities: Analyzing Social-Economical Trajectories with Auto-Embedding
Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2022 Lévy flights are useful in stochastic measurement, such as biology, human mobility, and financial mathematics, where trajectories contain many short flights and some long flights, and the step-lengths follow a power-law distribution. For cities inhabited

New Insight into the Fluctuations of the Moving Vortex Lattice: Non-Gaussian Noise and Levy Flights [PDF]
, 2006 We report measurements and analysis of the voltage noise due the to vortex motion, performed in superconducting Niobium micro-bridges. Noise in such small systems exhibits important changes from the behavior commonly reported in macroscopic samples.

Arbitrary Truncated Levy Flight: Asymmetrical Truncation and High-Order Correlations
, 2012 The generalized correlation approach, which has been successfully used in statistical radio physics to describe non-Gaussian random processes, is proposed to describe stochastic financial processes.
