We revisit the diffusion properties and the mean drift induced by an external field of a random walk process in a class of branched structures, as the comb lattice and the linear chains of plaquettes. A simple treatment based on scaling arguments is able to predict the correct anomalous regime for different topologies. In addition, we show that even in the presence of anomalous diffusion, Einstein’s relation still holds, implying a proportionality between the mean square displacement of the…

It is shown how the Einstein's relation between the mean drift induced by a small external field and the mean square displacement of the unperturbed system is valid in both asymptotic and preasymptotic regimes.
The temporal behavior of the mean squared displacement is estimated analytically, and it is shown that the spreading of the initial wave packet corresponds to Richardson diffusion.

The overall diffusion properties along the backbone are analyzed and normal diffusion, anomalous diffusion, and stochastic localization (diffusion failure) are found, respectively, depending on the characteristics of the continuous time random walk along the branches.

The results show that the phenomena of NDM and ANM are quite robust with respect to the details of the considered noise: in particular for finite [Formula: see text] a more complex force-velocity relation can be observed.
