26. We can consider the total distribution function G̃(t, x) = ∫f dyG(t, x, y), which corresponds to the continuous time random walk model [8] with conservation of the total number of particles. Nevertheless, we prefer to consider G(t, x, 0), since it is a more relevant value for practical applications [13].
27. Because of a change of a cross section area of pipes or vessels in lymphatic or vascular systems [20], or to external potentials of special forms [14], for example, this could be possible.
28. This simplification corresponds to a Liouville-Green asymptotic [27]. It means that the solution (7) is valid for the large scale x ≫ D̃/D.
