Abstract
Kernel representations are obtained for the concentration and flux away from equilibrium, where the kernel functions have a probabilistic interpretation. This is done in a discrete space model and also in its diffusion limit. In particular, the kernel representation is given for the flux at a boundary for the diffusion model. This requires special attention since one of the kernel functions exhibits a singularity.
