چکیده
Submitted for the MAR10 Meeting of The American Physical Society Rate description of Fokker-Planck processes with time-periodic parameters PETER TALKNER, Inst of Physics, University of Augsburg — The large time dynamics of periodically driven Fokker-Planck processes possessing several metastable states is investigated. At weak noise the rare transitions between these metastable states can be represented as a discrete Markov process characterized by time dependent rates. At large times the full Fokker-Planck process is completely specified by the transition probabilities of this discrete process and by two types of functions associated to each metastable state: so-called state specific probability densities and localizing functions. The localizing functions assign to the continuous states of the original Fokker-Planck process probabilities for the metastable states. The state specific probabilities allocate a time dependent probability density of continuous states to each metastable state. We specify these functions by their equations of motion and illustrate and validate the presented theory for a periodically forced bistable Brownian oscillator in a wide range of driving frequencies.

Rate description of Fokker-Planck processes with time-dependent parameters.
The reduction of a continuous Markov process with multiple metastable states to a discrete rate process is investigated in the presence of slow time-dependent parameters such as periodic external forces or slowly fluctuating barrier heights. A quantitative criterion is provided under which condition a kinetic description with time-dependent frozen rates applies and nonadiabatic corrections to t...
متن کاملPseudo-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 کاملNumerical Studies and Simulation of the Lower Hybrid Waves Current Drive by using Fokker – Planck Equation in NSST and HT-7 Tokamaks
Recent experiments on the spherical tokamak have discovered the conditions to create a powerful plasma and ensure easy shaping and amplification of stability, high bootstrap current and confinement energy. The spherical tours (ST) fusion energy development path is complementary to the tokamak burning plasma experiment such as NSTX and higher toroidal beta regimes and improves the design of a po...
متن کاملMultivariate Markov processes for stochastic systems with delays: application to the stochastic Gompertz model with delay.
Using the method of steps, we describe stochastic processes with delays in terms of Markov diffusion processes. Thus, multivariate Langevin equations and Fokker-Planck equations are derived for stochastic delay differential equations. Natural, periodic, and reflective boundary conditions are discussed. Both Ito and Stratonovich calculus are used. In particular, our Fokker-Planck approach recove...
