Anomalous Diffusion in Systems with Concentration-Dependent Diffusivity: Exact Solutions and Particle Simulations

We explore the anomalous diffusion that may arise as a result of a concentration dependent diffusivity. The diffusivity is taken to be a power law in the concentration, and from exact analytical solutions we show that the diffusion may be anomalous, or not, depending on the nature of the initial con...
