Abstract
In this paper a planar random motion governed by the two-dimensional telegraph equation is presented. It is proved that the particle performing motion is at any time t within a circle centred at the starting point and with radius . The explicit density of the particle position is obtained. Results concerning the trend of motion are also given.Keywords
