For the Markov process we have a transition probability from a position x=jl to a position x=il given by Wij(ϵ)=W(il−jl,ϵ)={12|i−j|=10else, where Wij is normally called the transition probability and we can represent it, see below, as a matrix. Here we have specialized to a case where the transition probability is known.
Our new PDF wi(t=ϵ) is now related to the PDF at t=0 through the relation wi(t=ϵ)=∑jW(j→i)wj(t=0).
This equation represents the discretized time-development of an original PDF with equal probability of jumping left or right.
