We extend our studies of thermal diffusion of non-topological solitons to anharmonic FPU-type chains with additional long-range couplings. The observed superdiffusive behavior in the case of nearest neighbor interaction (NNI) turns out to be the dominating mechanism for the soliton diffusion on chains with long-range interactions (LRI). Using a collective variable technique in the framework of a variational analysis for the continuum approximation of the chain, we derive a set of stochastic integro-differential equations for the collective variables (CV) soliton position and the inverse soliton width. This set can be reduced to a statistically equivalent set of Langevin-type equations for the CV, which shares the same Fokker-Planck equation. The solution of the Langevin set and the Langevin dynamics simulations of the discrete system agree well and demonstrate that the variance of the soliton increases stronger than linearly with time (superdiffusion). This result for the soliton diffusion on anharmonic chains with long-range interactions reinforces the conjecture that superdiffusion is a generic feature of non-topological solitons.
