Abstract

We derive a partial differential equation describing the approximate evolution of the reduced probability distribution function (RPDF) of a random walk on a square lattice with zigzag boundaries. We then apply this result for the specific case where boundaries are perfectly absorbing and obtain exact analytical expression for the continuum limit RPDF.
