N2 - We point out that the chemical space of a totally disconnected Cantor dust KnEn is a compact metric space Cn with the spectral dimension d s=d=n>D, where D and d=n are the fractal and chemical dimensions of Kn, respectively. Hence, we can define a random walk in the chemical space as a Markovian Gaussian process. The mapping of a random walk in Cn into KnEn defines the quenched Lévy flight on the Cantor dust with a single step duration independent of the step length. The equations, describing the superdiffusion and diffusion-reaction front propagation ruled by the local quenched Lévy flight on KnEn, are derived. The use of these equations to model superdiffusive phenomena, observed in some physical systems in which propagators decay faster than algebraically, is discussed.
