title: Continuous-time random walk: crossover from anomalous regime to normal regime.
abstract: We consider decoupled continuous time random walk with finite characteristic waiting time and jump length variance. We take approximate jump length probability distribution and waiting time probability distribution given by a product of power-law and exponential function. Using this waiting time probability distribution we study diffusion behaviors for all the time. Due to the finite characteristic waiting time and jump length variance the model presents normal diffusive behavior in the long-time limit. However, the model can describe anomalous behavior at the short and intermediate times. In particular, the model can describe subdiffusive, normal, and superdiffusive behaviors at the short times. Moreover, exact solution for probability distribution of the system is also investigated.
