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

Stochastic Gradient Monomial Gamma Sampler
TL;DR: In this article, a framework is proposed to improve the sampling efficiency of stochastic gradient MCMC based on Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMMCMC) for multimodal posterior distributions.

Mathematical foundations of an ultra coarse-grained slip link model.
TL;DR: The master equation underlying ecoSLM, an ultra-coarse-grained slip link model, is presented and the equilibrium and dynamic properties of the discrete master equation for large chains are found to be virtually identical to the continuous Fokker-Planck equation for Brownian particles diffusing in a potential.

Temporal correlation functions of concentration fluctuations: an anomalous case.
Ariel Lubelski,Joseph Klafter +1 more
TL;DR: It is calculated that multiparticle temporal correlation functions of concentration fluctuations (CCF) in systems that display anomalous subdiffusion in the framework of the continuous time random walk (CTRW) model differ from ensemble averages, displaying therefore ergodicity breaking.

A Multiscale Guide to Brownian Motion
TL;DR: In this article, a wavelet-based representation of a Brownian path is constructed as a linear combination of wavelet features at multiple length scales with random weights, and a closed formula mapping the unit interval onto the functional space of Brownian paths is given.

An approximate technique for determining in closed form the response transition probability density function of diverse nonlinear/hysteretic oscillators
Antonios T. Meimaris,Ioannis A. Kougioumtzoglou,Athanasios A. Pantelous,Antonina Pirrotta,Antonina Pirrotta +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an approximate analytical technique is developed for determining, in closed form, the transition probability density function (PDF) of a general class of first-order stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with nonlinearities both in the drift and in the diffusion coefficients.

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.

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.
