Time-changed reflected diffusions: subdiffusion, superdiffusion and explosion

Motivated by semi-Markov models of anomalous diffusion, we study obliquely reflected diffusions in generalized parabolic domains under independent inverse-subordinator time changes. We focus on infinite-mean subordinators, whose inverse clocks can slow the superdiffusive growth induced by reflection. For domains with cross-sectional radius asymptotic to $a_{\mathrm{\infty }}{x}^{\beta }$, where $-1<\beta <1$, we strengthen the almost-sure growth laws of [MMW23] to obtain precise second-moment asymptotics when the subordinator’s Laplace exponent is regularly varying at zero, and matching bounds more generally. Inverse $\alpha$-stable clocks yield mean-square growth of order $t^{2\alpha \mathrm{/}(1+\beta )}$, giving subdiffusive, diffusive, or superdiffusive regimes. For $\beta <-1$, explosion persists almost surely, with finite mean explosion time if and only if the subordinator has finite mean. Supporting results establish strong existence, pathwise uniqueness, and a time-change representation, also allowing dependent clocks.
