Fokker–Planck approximation of the master equation in molecular biology
نویسندگان
چکیده
The master equation of chemical reactions is solved by first approximating it by the Fokker–Planck equation. Then this equation is discretized in the state space and time by a finite volume method. The difference between the solution of the master equation and the discretized Fokker–Planck equation is analyzed. The solution of the Fokker–Planck equation is compared to the solution of the master equation obtained with Gillespie’s Stochastic Simulation Algorithm (SSA) for problems of interest in the regulation of cell processes. The time dependent and steady state solutions are computed and for equal accuracy in the solutions, the Fokker–Planck approach is more efficient than SSA for low dimensional problems and high accuracy.

Pseudo-spectral Matrix and Normalized Grunwald Approximation for Numerical Solution of Time Fractional Fokker-Planck Equation
This paper presents a new numerical method to solve time fractional Fokker-Planck equation. The space dimension is discretized to the Gauss-Lobatto points, then we apply pseudo-spectral successive integration matrix for this dimension. This approach shows that with less number of points, we can approximate the solution with more accuracy. The numerical results of the examples are displayed.

متن کاملHow accurate are the nonlinear chemical Fokker-Planck and chemical Langevin equations?
The chemical Fokker-Planck equation and the corresponding chemical Langevin equation are commonly used approximations of the chemical master equation. These equations are derived from an uncontrolled, second-order truncation of the Kramers-Moyal expansion of the chemical master equation and hence their accuracy remains to be clarified. We use the system-size expansion to show that chemical Fokk...
