Generalized Fokker-Planck equation, Brownian motion, and ergodicity.
Microscopic theory of Brownian motion of a particle of mass M in a bath of molecules of mass m<<M is considered beyond lowest order in the mass ratio mM . The corresponding Langevin equation contains nonlinear corrections to the dissipative force, and the generalized Fokker-Planck equation involves derivatives of order higher than 2. These equations are derived from first principles with coeffi...
متن کاملStochastic Resonance, Brownian Ratchets and the Fokker-Planck Equation
Our immediate aim is to arrive at quantitative realistic estimates of the optimum noise levels for a complete and feasible Brownian ratchet device. A number of difficult “Unsolved Problems of Noise” naturally arise in the course of this work. We pose a general philosophical question: “Is it is possible to relate stochastic resonance and Brownian ratchets in a formal way, through a consideration...
متن کاملBrownian motion with dry friction: Fokker-Planck approach
We solve a Langevin equation, first studied by de Gennes, in which there is a solid-solid or dry friction force acting on a Brownian particle in addition to the viscous friction usually considered in the study of Brownian motion. We obtain both the time-dependent propagator of this equation and the velocity correlation function by solving the associated time-dependent Fokker-Planck equation. Ex...
متن کاملThe Fokker-Planck equation
In 1984, H. Risken authored a book (H. Risken, The Fokker-Planck Equation: Methods of Solution, Applications, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, New York) discussing the Fokker-Planck equation for one variable, several variables, methods of solution and its applications, especially dealing with laser statistics. There has been a considerable progress on the topic as well as the topic has received greater...
متن کاملThe Fokker-Planck Equation
Stochastic differential equations (SDE) are used to model many situations including population dynamics, protein kinetics, turbulence, finance, and engineering [5, 6, 1]. Knowing the solution of the SDE in question leads to interesting analysis of the trajectories. Most SDE are unsolvable analytically and other methods must be used to analyze properties of the stochastic process. From the SDE, ...
