In the framework of the statistical mechanics based on the Sharma-Taneja-Mittal entropy we derive a family of nonlinear Fokker-Planck equations characterized by the associated non-increasing Lyapunov functional. This class of equations describes kinetic processes in anomalous mediums where both super-diffusive and subdiffusive mechanisms arise contemporarily and competitively. We classify the Lie symmetries and derive the corresponding group-invariant solutions for the physically meaningful Uhlenbeck-Ornstein process. For the purely diffusive process we show that any localized state asymptotically approaches a bell shape well fitted by a generalized Gaussian which is, in general, a quasi-self-similar solution for this class of purely diffusive equations.
