Masoliver, Jaume, 1951-Weiss, George H. (George Herbert), 1930-2011-07-072011-07-0719941063-651Xhttps://hdl.handle.net/2445/18837All derivations of the one-dimensional telegraphers equation, based on the persistent random walk model, assume a constant speed of signal propagation. We generalize here the model to allow for a variable propagation speed and study several limiting cases in detail. We also show the connections of this model with anomalous diffusion behavior and with inertial dichotomous processes.3 p.application/pdfeng(c) American Physical Society, 1994Física estadísticaTermodinàmicaFísica matemàticaStatistical physicsThermodynamicsMathematical physicsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article82152info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
