1.1.2 Biased random walk (BRW) Consider a one-dimensional hopping process on a discrete lattice (spacing `), defined such that during a time-step aparticleatpositionx(t) =`j 2 `Z can either (i) jump a fixed distance ` to the left with probability,or (ii) jump a fixed distance ` to the right with probability, or (iii) remain at its position x with probability (1 ). Assuming that the process is Markovian (does not depend on the past), the evolution of the associated probability vector P (t) =(P (t, x)) = (P j (t)), where x = `j, is governed by the master equation P (t +,x)=(1 ) P (t, x)+ P (t, x `)+ P (t, x + `). (1.15)

Master equations P (t +,x)=(1 ) P (t, x)+ P (t, x `)+ P (t, x + `). (1.15) Technically,, and (1 ) arethenon-zero-elementsofthecorrespondingtransition matrix W =(W ij )withw ij > 0thatgovernstheevolutionofthecolumnprobability vector P (t) =(P j (t)) = (P (t, y)) by P i (t + ) =W ij P j (t) (1.16a) or, more generally, for n steps P (t + n ) =W n P (t). (1.16b) The stationary solutions are the eigenvectors of W with eigenvalue 1. To preserve normalization, one requires P i W ij =1.

We recover the classical di usion equation (1.12) from Eq. (1.19a) for = time-dependent fundamental solution of Eq. (1.19a) reads r 1 (x ut) 2 p(t, x) = 4 Dt exp 4Dt (1.19b) = 0.5. The (1.20)

r Remarks Note that Eqs. (1.12) and Eq. (1.19a) can both be written in the current-form @ t p + @ x j x =0 (1.21) with j x = up D@ x p, (1.22) reflecting conservation of probability. Another commonly-used representation is @ t p = Lp, (1.23) where L is a linear di erential operator; in the above example (1.19b) L := u @ x + D @ xx. (1.24) Stationary solutions, if they exist, are eigenfunctions of L with eigenvalue 0. (useful later when discussing Brownian motors)
