Abstract

The properties of discrete random walks on a circle are contrasted with thoseof the more familiar (infinite) straight-line random-walk problem. Differencesbetween these systems illustrate the kinetic-theory explanation ofthermodynamic irreversibility. Results of circular random walk simulations arepresented; these confirm the theoretical predictions of the mean recurrenceinterval.
