Properties of constant-speed diffusive random walks starting from
a random point inside a bounded domain are presented. Average
quantities, such as the mean length of the trajectory (or first
exit time), are expressed only according to the moments of
trajectories starting on the surface's body. The derivation is
based on the one-velocity linearized Boltzmann transport
equation. Furthermore, we generalize to the case of nohomogeneous
diffusive media some relations, established before in the
literature, for purely absorbing media.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
