Geometric properties of continuous time random walks — •Mirko Lukovic, Theo Geisel, and Stephan Eule — MPI for Dynamics and Self-organization, Goettingen, Germany

We investigate the geometric properties of two-dimensional continuous time random walks. In particular, we determine analytical expressions for the time-evolution of the average perimeter and area of convex hulls of non-Markovian processes such as subordinated random walks and Lévy flights. A convex hull is the minimum convex polygon enclosing a set of monitored points and it proves to be very useful when it comes to estimating the home-range of foraging animals.
