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]

Beyond Brownian motion and the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process: Stochastic diffusion models for the evolution of quantitative characters

TL;DR: New, non-Gaussian stochastic differential equation (diffusion) models of quantitative trait evolution and diversification are described and general methods for deriving new diffusion models are presented.

Learning Curves for Deep Neural Networks: A Gaussian Field Theory Perspective.

TL;DR: This work constructs a versatile field-theory formalism for supervised deep learning, involving renormalization group, Feynmann diagrams, and replicas, and shows that this approach leads to highly accurate predictions of learning curves of truly deep DNNs trained on polynomial regression problems.

Gibrat’s Law Redux: think profitability instead of growth

TL;DR: The authors show that the diffusion of profit rates applies across all surviving corporations, irrespective of their size or industry, which is not true for growth rates, since the idiosyncratic efforts merely affect the individual persistence of abnormal profits from the systemwide norm.

Natural Transform for Solving Fractional Models

TL;DR: In this article, a domain decomposition natural transform method (ADNTM) is proposed to obtain approximate analytical solution of fractional physical models, which is based on a combination of a Domain Decomposition method and a Natural Transform method.

Fluctuations and Irreversible Processes

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.
