Generalized Fokker-Planck equation: Derivation and exact solutions

چکیده
We derive the generalized Fokker-Planck equation associated with the Langevin equation (in the Ito sense) for an overdamped particle in an external potential driven by multiplicative noise with an arbitrary distribution of the increments of the noise generating process. We explicitly consider this equation for various specific types of noises, including Poisson white noise and Lévy stable noise, and show that it reproduces all Fokker-Planck equations that are known for these noises. Exact analytical, time-dependent and stationary solutions of the generalized Fokker-Planck equation are derived and analyzed in detail for the cases of a linear, a quadratic, and a tailored potential.

Exact solution of a generalized Kramers-Fokker-Planck equation retaining retardation effects.
In order to describe non-Gaussian kinetics in weakly damped systems, the concept of continuous time random walks is extended to particles with finite inertia. One thus obtains a generalized Kramers-Fokker-Planck equation, which retains retardation effects, i.e., nonlocal couplings in time and space. It is shown that despite this complexity, exact solutions of this equation can be given in terms...
متن کاملBrownian Motion of Stars, Dust, and Invisible Matter
Treating the motion of a dust particle suspended in a liquid as a random walk, Einstein in 1905 derived an equation describing the diffusion of the particle’s probability distribution in configuration space. Fokker and Planck extended this work to describe the velocity distribution of the particles. Their equation and its solutions have been applied to many problems in nature starting with the ...

The exact solution of the Cauchy problem for a generalized ”linear” vectorial Fokker-Planck equation is found using the disentangling techniques of R. Feynman and algebraic (operational) methods. This approach may be considered as a generalization of the Masuo Suzuki’s method for solving the 1-dimensional linear Fokker-Planck equation.

متن کاملProbabilistic representation for solutions to nonlinear Fokker–Planck equations
One obtains a probabilistic representation for the entropic generalized solutions to a nonlinear Fokker–Planck equation in Rd with multivalued nonlinear diffusion term as density probabilities of solutions to a nonlinear stochastic differential equation. The case of a nonlinear Fokker–Planck equation with linear space dependent drift is also studied.
