56. The scaling result (Formula presented) [Eq. (11)] and the squared absolute mean (Formula presented) [Eq. (12)] are proportional to (Formula presented) The divergence of the mean square displacement (Formula presented) can be avoided in the Lévy walk concept through the introduction of a time cost which penalizes long displacements. For Lévy walks, the proportionality (Formula presented) is found, see 1840.
