Fokker-Planck Equation

TL;DR: In this paper, an equation for the distribution function describing Brownian motion was first derived by Fokker [11] and Planck [12] and it is shown that expectation values for nonlinear Langevin equations (367, 110) are much more difficult to obtain.

Active Brownian Particles. From Individual to Collective Stochastic Dynamics

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on simple models of active dynamics with a particular emphasis on nonlinear and stochastic dynamics of such self-propelled entities in the framework of statistical mechanics.

The semiclassical theory of laser cooling

TL;DR: In this paper, the basic theory of the mechanical action of light in resonant interaction with atoms is reviewed. But the main application is laser cooling, but the approach is applicable to a broader range of phenomena.

Approximation and inference methods for stochastic biochemical kinetics—a tutorial review

TL;DR: An introduction to basic modelling concepts as well as an overview of state of the art methods for stochastic chemical kinetics is given, including the chemical Langevin equation, the system size expansion, moment closure approximation, time-scale separation approximations and hybrid methods.
