The transition probability for a one-dimensional discrete symmetric random walk under a reflecting barrier was once given by the method of images. [S. Chandrasekhar, Rev. Mod. Phys. 15, 1 (1943).] However, several inconsistencies have been reported when the method of images is applied in cases where a reflecting barrier is considered, even after the exact solution has been obtained. Here, we explicitly show that the method of images becomes applicable if the image position is shifted.

Diffusion in Quenched Random Environments: Reviving Laplace's First Law of Errors
For a quenched trap model, the disorder-averaged particle packet decays with a universal Laplace-like tail set by the first moments of the escape rates.
