Popis: 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 Bernoulli coin. We relate these results to similar findings of unconventional phase behavior in hierarchical networks.
