Abstract
A generalization of the relation between the simple random walk on a regular lattice and the diffusion equation in a continuous space is described. In one dimension we consider a random walk of a walker with exponentially decreasing mobility with respect to time. It has an exact solution of the conditional probability, that is expressed in terms of the Gaussian polynomials, a generalization of binomial coefficients. Taking a suitable continuum limit we obtain the corresponding transport equation from the recursion relation of the discrete random walk process. The kernel of this differential equation is also directly obtained from that conditional probability by the same continuum limit.
