Lévy Walk Simulation

This repository provides a Python implementation of the Lévy Walk simulation, a random walk model where the step lengths are drawn from a power-law distribution. The code simulates multiple walkers with boundary conditions and visualizes their trajectories for different values of the power-law exponent.

Features

  • Simulate Lévy Walk for multiple walkers with boundary conditions
  • Generate step lengths from a power-law distribution
  • Plot the trajectories of walkers for different power-law exponents

Requirements

  • Python 3.x
  • NumPy
  • Matplotlib

Usage

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/your-username/levy-walk-simulation.git
  2. Navigate to the project directory:

    cd levy-walk-simulation
  3. Run the simulation script:

    python levy_walk.py

    This will generate a figure titled LW.png containing 12 subplots, each showing the trajectories of 3 walkers for a different power-law exponent ranging from 0.5 to 2.5.

Code Overview

The repository contains the following Python file:

  • levy_walk.py: This file contains two main functions:
    • levy_walk(n_walkers, n_steps, alpha, x_range, y_range): Simulates the Lévy Walk for multiple walkers with boundary conditions.
    • plot_trajectories(trajectories, alpha, ax): Plots the trajectories of multiple walkers on a given Matplotlib axes.
