Random walks on the Comb model and its generalizations.

Microscopic models with anomalous diffusion, which include the Comb model and its generalization for the finite width of the backbone, have been considered in this paper. The physical mechanisms of the subdiffusion random walks have been established. The first comes from the permanent return of the diffusing particle to the initial point of the diffusion due to "effective reducing" of the dimensionality of the considered system to the quasi-one-dimensional system. This physical mechanism has been obtained in the Comb model and in the model with a strip. The second mechanism of the subdiffusion is connected with random capture on the traps of diffusing particles and their ensuing random release from the traps. It has been shown that these different mechanisms of subdiffusion have been described by the different generalized diffusion equations of fractional order. The solutions of these different equations have been obtained, and the physical sense of the fractional order generalized equations has been discussed.
