Abstract
In this paper models for diffusion in one dimension are obtained which are based on correlated random walks. The equations for diffusion with drift can be transformed into the equations for diffusion without drift (and conversely) by the transformations of Special Relativity Theory. The relationship of these equations to Maxwell's equations for electromagnetic phenomena is discussed.Keywords
