Abstract: Consider $n$ independent Goldstein-Kac telegraph processes $X_1(t),dots,X_n(t),;nge2,;tge0,$ on the real line $BbbR$. Each the process $X_k(t),;k=1,dots,n,$ describes a stochastic motion at constant finite speed $c_k>0$ of a particle that, at the initial time instant $t=0$, starts from some initial point $x_k^0=X_k(0)inBbbR$ and whose evolution is controlled by a homogeneous Poisson process $N_k(t)$ of rate $lambd{a}_k>0$. The governing Poisson processes $N_k(t),;k=1,dots,n,$ are supposed to be independent as well. Consider the linear form of the processes $X_1(t),dots,X_n(t),;nge2,$ defined by ${\displaystyle }$L(t) = sum_{k=1}^n a_k X_k(t) ,${\displaystyle }$ where $a_k,;k=1,dots,n,$ are arbitrary real non-zero constant coefficients. We obtain a hyperbolic system of first-order partial differential equations for the joint probability densities of the process $L(t)$ and of the directions of motions at arbitrary time $t>0$. From this system we derive a partial differential equation of order $2^n$ for the transition density of $L(t)$ in the form of a determinant of a block matrix whose elements are the differential operators with constant coefficients. The weak convergence of $L(t)$ to a homogeneous Wiener process, under Kac's scaling conditions, is proved. Initial-value problems for the transition densities of the sum and difference $S^{pm}(t)=X_1(t)pm{X}_2(t)$ of two independent telegraph processes with arbitrary parameters, are also posed.
