% This code returns 'n' levy flight steps
% Note: 1< beta < 2
n=5;
beta=1.5;
close all
num = gamma(1+beta)*sin(pi*beta/2); % used for Numerator
den = gamma((1+beta)/2)*beta*2^((beta-1)/2); % used for Denominator
sigma_u = (num/den)^(1/beta);% Standard deviation
m = 2;% Change the value to get levy steps in higher dimension
u = random('Normal',0,sigma_u^2,n,m);
v = random('Normal',0,1,n,m);
z = u./(abs(v).^(1/beta));

% Sample plotting
[x,y] = deal(zeros(n,1));
x(1) = 1;
y(1) = 1;
for i = 1:n
x(i+1) = x(i) + z(i,1);
y(i+1) = y(i) + z(i,2);
end
line(x,y)
