A class of self-similar stochastic processes with stationary increments to model anomalous diffusion in physics. (English)
[J] Integral Transforms Spec. Funct. 20, No. 3-4, 185-198 (2009). ISSN 1065-2469; ISSN 1476-8291/e

The present paper expresses the motivation of the grey noise theory [cf. {\it W. R. Schneider}, World Scientific, 676--681 (1990)], which leads to a class of self similar stochastic processes. The authors extend the grey Brownian motion (which is the fundamental solution of the time-fractional diffusion equation) to a class called generalized grey Brownian motion. In the first section, the mathematical construction of the problem is described; then it is shown that this particular class is made up by H-ssi processes, which contain either Gaussian or non-Gaussian processes. In the final section of the paper it is shown how the partial integro-differential equation of fractional type is used to described the time evolution of the marginal density function. The list of references is exhaustive for a better understanding.
