It is assumed that the transitions to the left and right neighboring points have unequal probabilities. In the continuous limit, we derive analytically the probability distribution function, which is mainly determined by a walker diffusion and a drift and takes perturbatively the interface effects between zones into account. It is used for computing the probability to find a walker at a given space-time point and the time dependence of the mean squared displacement of a walker trajectory, which reveals the transient anomalous diffusion. To justify our approach, the probability function is compared with the results of numerical simulations for the case of three-zone environment.</p>}, number={6}, journal={Ukrainian Journal of Physics}, author={Nazarenko, A.
