TLDR
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.Abstract:
As shown in Sects 31, 2 we can immediately obtain expectation values for processes described by the linear Langevin equations (31, 31) For nonlinear Langevin equations (367, 110) expectation values are much more difficult to obtain, so here we first try to derive an equation for the distribution function As mentioned already in the introduction, a differential equation for the distribution function describing Brownian motion was first derived by Fokker [11] and Planck [12]: many review articles and books on the Fokker-Planck equation now exist [15 – 15]read more

Theory of coupled ion-electron transfer kinetics
Dimitrios Fraggedakis,Michael McEldrew,Raymond B. Smith,Yamini Krishnan,Yirui Zhang,Peng Bai,Peng Bai,William C. Chueh,Yang Shao-Horn,Martin Z. Bazant +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived a general formula of the reaction rate that depends on the overpotential, solvent properties, the electronic structure of the electron donor/acceptor, and the excess chemical potential of ions in the transition state.

Kv7 channels regulate pairwise spiking covariability in health and disease.
Gabriel Koch Ocker,Brent Doiron +1 more
TL;DR: The theory shows that the excess covariance reduction is due to a Kv7-induced shift from low-pass to band-pass filtering of the single neuron spike train response, and provides key insights into how regulation of a ubiquitous potassium channel class can control the coordination of population spiking activity.

Non-normality, reactivity, and intrinsic stochasticity in neural dynamics: a non-equilibrium potential approach
TL;DR: A mechanism by which relatively small demographic fluctuations can lead to the emergence of avalanching behavior in systems that are deterministically characterized by a single stable fixed point is revisited, and the novel concept of "non-linear reactivity" is introduced.

Partial differential equations for training deep neural networks
TL;DR: This paper establishes a connection between non-convex optimization and nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) and suggests new algorithms based on the non-viscous Hamilton-Jacobi PDE that can effectively tackle the high dimensionality of modern neural networks.

General framework for nonclassical nucleation
TL;DR: In this article, a unified and self-consistent theoretical framework is proposed to describe both classical and non-classical nucleation pathways, showing that the pathway involves a single energy barrier and it passes through a dense phase, starting from a low density initial phase, before reaching the final stable state.

Fluctuations and Irreversible Processes
Lars Onsager,S. Machlup +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the probability of a given succession of (nonequilibrium) states of a spontaneously fluctuating thermodynamic system is calculated, on the assumption that the macroscopic variables defining a state are Gaussian random variables whose average behavior is given by the laws governing irreversible processes.

The Radiation Theories of Tomonaga, Schwinger, and Feynman
TL;DR: In this article, a unified development of the subject of quantum electrodynamics is outlined, embodying the main features both of the Tomonaga-Schwinger and of the Feynman radiation theory.

Covariant formulation of non-equilibrium statistical thermodynamics
TL;DR: In this paper, the diffusion matrix of the Fokker Planck equation is used as a contravariant metric tensor in phase space, and the covariance of the Langevin-equations and the fokker equation is demonstrated.

Approximation of the Linear Boltzmann Equation by the Fokker-Planck Equation
TL;DR: In this article, the first two terms of the Kramers-Moyal expansion of the Fokker-Planck equation were used to approximate the linear Boltzmann integral operator.
