Fokker-Planck equation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The first use of the Fokker-Planck equation was the statistical description of Brownian motion of a particle in a fluid. The Fokker-Planck equation (also known as the Kolmogorov Forward equation) describes the time evolution of the probability density function of position and velocity of a particle. The general form of the Fokker-Planck equation for N variables is en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Fokker-Planck_equation   (152 words)

CPC Licence Alert Besides making amenable the treatment of the full integro-differential equation, calculations based on this expansion, being a series of one-dimensional equations, are easier to solve and require less computer time than a solution of the two- dimensional Fokker-Planck equation. A code is presented that solves numerically the full non-relativistic Fokker-Planck equation using the IMSL package TWODEPEP, for the runaway electron distribution function in the presence of a dc electric field. To achieve these features, a set of partial integro-differential equations derived from a Legendre expansion of the Fokker-Planck equation is solved simultaneously for the electron distribution parts up to f3 with f0 non-Maxwellian and including the full electron-electron collision operator. www.cpc.cs.qub.ac.uk /summaries/ACJA.html   (317 words)

The Variational Formulation of the Fokker--Planck Equation The Fokker--Planck equation, or forward Kolmogorov equation, describes the evolution of the probability density for a stochastic process associated with an Ito stochastic differential equation. In this paper, we are concerned with Fokker--Planck equations for which the drift term is given by the gradient of a potential. For a broad class of potentials, we construct a time discrete, iterative variational scheme whose solutions converge to the solution of the Fokker--Planck equation. epubs.siam.org /sam-bin/dbq/article/30335   (210 words)

Relations Between Markov Processes Via Local Time and Coordinate Transformations With standard methods [6], the Fokker-Planck equation of the Schenzle-Brand process with (38) and (42) can be transformed to the Schrödinger equation of the Morse oscillator. Some years ago, the DK-method was also applied to the stochastic theory of Markov processes [11, 12], thereby relating the Fokker-Planck equation of Markov processes to other stochastic differential equations. The Duru-Kleinert (DK) method of solving unknown path integrals of quantum mechanical systems by relating them to known ones does not apply to Markov processes since the DK-transform of a Fokker-Planck equation is in general not a Fokker-Planck equation. www.physik.fu-berlin.de /~kleinert/kleiner_re249/markov.html   (1344 words)

Hide Cateau, Math. Biol. Seminar The Fokker-Planck equation provides neuroscience with a powerful tool to analyze macroscopically how states of a population change as well as how strengths of numerous synapse on one neuron change. We demonstrate that 2+1 dim Fokker-Planck equation based on this unique form of the autocovariance reproduces the feedforward synchronization very well. In our next application of the Fokker-Planck equation to an in vitro feedforward synchronization (Reyes, 2003), however, we find that the 1+1 dim Fokker-Planck equation fails to describe the system even in the fast synapse limit. cams.njit.edu /tao/mathbio/cateau.html   (133 words)

CAMCOS: 2002-present We added various types of noise to several parts of the Fokker-Planck equation, including initial conditions and parameters in the equation; and we measured the effect of noise by calculating the Mean Squared Error (MSE) in comparing the noisy solutions with the original un-noisy solutions. We were therefore able to extend the techniques previously developed for the diffusion equation case to this case of the Fokker-Planck equation. We also continued to investigate the integral equations approach that we hope will extend our methods to more general differential equation models, including the Fokker-Planck equation with a variable diffusion coefficient and a double well potential. www.math.sjsu.edu /camcos/history.hsu.html   (1972 words)

Global optimization using the Fokker-Planck machine The method follows from the fact that a forward Kolmogorov (or Fokker-Planck) equation can be associated with the evolution of a stochastic differential equation. The transition density which satisfies the Fokker-Planck equation is parametrized by means of a Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural network. By sampling the search space, a learning rule for the RBF network is obtained. www.esat.kuleuven.ac.be /sista/yearreport97/node16.html   (252 words)

ANS : Store : Electronic Articles The Fokker-Planck equation is often used to approximate the description of particle transport processes with highly forward-peaked scattering. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the resulting GFP equations are much more accurate than the standard Fokker-Planck equation. Pomraning has shown that if the physical scattering kernel is sufficiently dominated by small-angle scattering, then the Fokker-Planck equation is an asymptotic approximation to the linear Boltzmann equation. www.ans.org /store/index.cgi?i=E110000-nse-137-3-236-250   (165 words)

Articles - Brownian motion The accompanying equation of motion is called the Langevin equation or the Fokker-Planck equation depending on whether it is formulated in terms of random trajectories or probability densities.

The Fokker-Planck Equation The Fokker-Planck equation, given by Eq.(2), is solved numerically. For a weekly ionized plasma in the presence of an oscillating field, the distribution of electrons is mainly governed by the interaction with neutrals, therefore, giving the Fokker-Planck equation The Fokker-Planck formalism [ Gurevich 1978] starts by taking the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation macul.ciencias.uchile.cl /~alejo/sprites/fokker/fokker.html   (155 words)

Numerical Methods for Fokker-Planck Equations As discussed in Paper 1, Fokker-Planck equations derived under the above approximations are singular, causing problems with boundary conditions and numerical overflow and underflow. If the acceleration region is homogeneous and the scattering mean free path is much smaller than both the energy change mean free path and the size of the acceleration region, then the Fokker-Planck equation reduces to a simple form involving only the time and energy variables. We examine six finite difference methods, three fully implicit and three semi-implicit, and a stochastic simulation method which uses the exact correspondence between the Fokker-Planck equation and the It\^o stochastic differential equation. www.stanford.edu /dept/astro/parkb/paper2.html   (301 words)

taniguchi.html An "anti-Fokker-Planck equation" to describe the time-reversed tangent vector dynamics is introduced and used to calculate the negative Lyapunov exponents under the assumption of Gaussian white particle interactions. Under the assumption that the random interactions are expressed by a Gaussian white randomness, the master equation is simply attributed to a Fokker-Planck equation, and leads to a direct connection between the Lyapunov exponents and the time correlation of the matrix specifying the particle interactions. The master equation approach is one of the methods that can be used to calculate the full Lyapunov spectra for many-particle systems. www.mpipks-dresden.mpg.de /~chaotran/abstracts/taniguchi/taniguchi.html   (396 words)
