RESUMEN
Anomalous diffusive behaviors are observed in highly inhomogeneous but relatively stable environments such as intracellular media and are increasingly attracting attention. In this paper we develop a coupled continuous-time random walk model in which the waiting time is power-law coupled with the local environmental diffusion coefficient. We provide two forms of the waiting time density, namely, a heavy-tailed density and an exponential density. For different waiting time densities, anomalous diffusions with the diffusion exponent between 0 and 2 and Brownian yet non-Gaussian diffusion can be realized within the present model. The diffusive behaviors are analyzed and discussed by deriving the mean-squared displacement and probability density function. In addition we derive the effective jump length density corresponding to the decoupled form to help distinguish the diffusion types. Our model unifies two kinds of anomalous diffusive behavior with different characteristics in the same inhomogeneous environment into a theoretical framework. The model interprets the random motion of particles in a complex inhomogeneous environment and reproduces the experimental results of different biological and physical systems.
