Measures for diffusion, ergodicity & ageing

Ralf Metzler, Universität Potsdam 2.09.0.1310:15 - 11:45

After a short introduction into the history of Brownian motion I will present
the stochastic motion in several physical systems, in particular with respect
to the typically measured quantities & how they are analysed. Apart from time
& ensemble averaged moments I will mention (non)ergodic indicators,  displace-
ment correlation functions, non-Gaussianity measures as well as power spectra.
First new results using maximum likelihood approaches are also shown.
