Description
A very useful approximate tool for understanding the role of random material properties on solutions of the transport equation is described and its historical derivation given. The development of this stochastic tool, from its introduction by Randall, to its use in describing current problems involving dichotomic or pseudo-dichotomic Markov processes is discussed.
