Additional thoughts on: Random walks in one dimension
The math behind Sisyphos. After I wrote the blog post about discrete random walks in 1D and their connection to Bessel functions, I started wondering about their continuous counterpart. In particular, one question that got stuck in my mind was what happens if you have discrete steps in one direction but continuous motion in the…

Random thoughts on: Random walks in one dimension
A wild Bessel function has appeared! I have to tell you something: I really like Bessel functions. All of them. Plain or modified, of first or second kind. I am particularly amazed at how often they appear in completely unrelated contexts. For example, they can be used to describe the vibrations of a drum or,…
