Abstract

Persistent diffusion in one dimension, in which the velocity of the diffusing particle is a dichotomic Markov process, is considered. The flow is non-Markovian, but the position and the velocity together constitute a Markovian diffusion process. We solve the coupled forward Kolmogorov equations and the coupled backward Kolmogorov equations with appropriate initial conditions, to establish a generalized (matrix) form of the renewal equation connecting the probability densities and first passage time distributions for persistent diffusion.
