Probability law for the Euclidean distance between two planar random flights

Abstract: We consider two independent symmetric Markov random flights

and

performed by the particles that simultaneously start from the origin of the Euclidean plane

B b b R^{2}

in random directions distributed uniformly on the unit circumference

S_{1}

and move with constant finite velocities

c_{1} > 0,; c_{2} > 0

, respectively. The new random directions are taking uniformly on

S_{1}

at random time instants that form independent homogeneous Poisson flows of rates

l a m b d a_{1} > 0,; l a m b d a_{2} > 0

. The probability distribution function of the Euclidean distance

ho(t)=Vert �old Z_1(t) - �old Z_2(t) Vert, qquad t>0,

between

and

at arbitrary time instant

t > 0

, is obtained.
