Abstract
A model of classical relaxation in a one-dimensional potential with a hierarchical distribution of barriers is studied. The vanishing of an effective diffusion constant results in a transition of the low-lying states of the master equation from extended to localized, producing a transition from exponential to anomalous decay.Keywords
