Abstract
We analyze a semi-infinite one-dimensional random walk process with a biased motion that is incremental in one direction and long-range in the other. On a network with a fixed hierarchy of long-range jumps we find with exact renormalization group calculations that there is a dynamical transition between a localized adsorption phase and an anomalous diffusion phase in which the mean-square displacement exponent depends non-universally on the bias of the system. We compare these results with similar findings of unconventional phase behavior in hierarchical networks, as well as with related systems involving Levy-distributed backjumps.
