N2 - The time evolution of a particle that switches randomly between two deterministic states, one stationary and the other one mobile, is studied. The methods of J. C. Giddings and H. Eyring [J. Phys. Chem. 59, 416 (1955); J. C. Giddings, J. Chem. Phys. 26, 169 (1957)] and that of G. H. Weiss, J. Masoliver, K. Lindenberg, and B. J. West [Phys. Rev. A 36, 1435 (1987)] are extended to treat arbitrary evolution laws in the mobile phase and shown to lead to identical results. Several applications of interest are presented.
