We study the overdamped Brownian dynamics of particles moving in piecewise-defined potential energy landscapes U(x), where the height Q of each section is obtained from the exponential distribution p(Q)=aβexp(−aβQ), where β is the reciprocal thermal energy, and a>0. The averaged effective diffusi...
