16. For the two problems to be equivalent, the initial density for the symmetric channel Φ (X,Z,0) must be invariant under reflection about the X axis. When we consider symmetric channels, we will restrict our attention to initial conditions that satisfy this requirement.
17. An approximate 1D equation of motion has also been developed for diffusion in a narrow symmetric 2D channel in the presence of a constant external field. Numerical tests of the validity of this equation may be found in D. Reguera, G. Schmid, P. S. Burada, J. M. Rubi, P. Reimann, and P. Hanggi, Phys. Rev.
