Description
Diffusion in not homogeneous media can be described both by the Fick and the Fokker-Planck diffusion equation. The question whether one of the two description has to be considered the correct one is often debated in the scientific literature. Using a microscopic approach, we show that both the descriptions are reasonable and that they correspond to different realizations of spatial inhomogeneities.
