Heterogeneous Cattaneo–Vernotte equation connection to the noisy voter model

Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: We consider a heterogeneous diffusion equation and its corresponding generalization to the Cattaneo-Vernotte equation. It is derived by a combination of the continuity equation and the constitutive relation in various stochastic interpretations of the heterogeneous diffusion process. The heterogeneity in the system is introduced by considering a position-dependent diffusion coefficient. The exact results for the probability density function and the mean-squared displacement are provided. The limiting case of heterogeneous diffusion is analyzed in detail, and the corresponding time-averaged mean-squared displacement is calculated. From the obtained results, an ergodicity breaking is observed.
