Three-dimensional telegrapher's equation and its fractional generalization

We derive the three-dimensional telegrapher's equation out of a random walk model. The model is a threedimensional version of the multistate random walk where the number of different states form a continuum representing the spatial directions that the walker can take. We set the general equatio...

Sumario:We derive the three-dimensional telegrapher's equation out of a random walk model. The model is a threedimensional version of the multistate random walk where the number of different states form a continuum representing the spatial directions that the walker can take. We set the general equations and solve them for isotropic and uniform walks which finally allows us to obtain the telegrapher's equation in three dimensions. We generalize the isotropic model and the telegrapher's equation to include fractional anomalous transport in three dimensions.
