Symmetric cooperative motion in one dimension

. We explore the relationship between recursive distributional equations and convergence results for finite difference schemes of parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs). We focus on a family of random processes called symmetric cooperative motions, which generalize the symmetric simple random walk and the symmetric hipster random walk introduced in [2]. We obtain a distributional convergence result for symmetric cooperative motions and, along the way, obtain a novel proof of the Bernoulli central limit theorem. In addition, we prove a PDE result relating distributional solutions and viscosity solutions of the porous medium equation and the parabolic p -Laplace equation, respectively, in one dimension.
