Motions with finite velocity analyzed with order statistics and differential equations

TLDR
In this paper, the explicit distribution of the position of randomly moving particles on the line and in the plane (with different velocities taken cyclically) by means of order statistics and by studying suitable problems of differential equations is derived.
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to derive the explicit distribution of the position of randomly moving particles on the line and in the plane (with different velocities taken cyclically) by means of order statistics and by studying suitable problems of differential equations. The two approaches are compared when both are applicable (case of the telegraph process). In some specific cases (alternating motions with skipping) it is possible to use the order statistics approach also to solve the equations governing the distribution. Finally, the approach based on order statistics is also applied in order to obtain the distribution of the position in the case of planar motion with three velocities conditioned on the number of changes of directions recorded.

Bessel functions of third order and the distribution of cyclic planar motions with three directions
