Stochastic differential equations

TL;DR: In this article, the authors define stochastic differential equations (SDEs) and their occurrence in physics, and present an alternative treatment, applicable only in a special case, but not confined to small ατ c.

Gaussian stochastic processes in physics

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a generalization of the Langevin equation for the canonical density matrix and show that the generalized Langevin equations can be used to obtain the Doob-Ito-Stratonovich calculi.

A cumulant expansion for stochastic linear differential equations. I

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic expansion for the expectation value of a stochastic process is given, where the expansion parameter is the product of the magnitude of the fluctuations and their auto-correlation time.

Path-integral formulation for stochastic processes driven by colored noise

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed discussion of the path-integral formalism for stochastic processes described by a nonwhite noise is given, and the stationary distribution of the process in the weak noise limit is obtained from the Lagrangian without relying on the use of Fokker-Planck or Markovian approximations.

Stochastically perturbed fields, with applications to wave propagation in random media

TL;DR: In this paper, the statistical properties of a classical field propagating through a randomly inhomogeneous medium are analysed by a method in which the random medium is described by the two-point (bilocal) correlation function of its random characteristic, e.g., refractive index, potential, convective velocity, etc.
