49. We are considering only one-step processes. For general processes with large jumps allowed the boundary condition must be extended over all sites (Formula presented) out of D.
50. From Eq. (2.8) the general expression for MFPT is given by (Formula presented).
51. A related interesting model is the multiplicative one: (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) where (Formula presented). Thus, (Formula presented) and the corresponding evolution equation that results from Eq. (2.6) is (Formula presented). Here, we can also obtain the symmetrical disordered system and the ordered biased chain as limit cases.
52. We must note that from Eqs. (2.3) and (2.10), the MRT is defined only if (Formula presented) is an integrable function in the interval (Formula presented). This condition is only fulfilled in the presence of bias.
