Solution of Fokker Planck equations with and without manifest detailed balance

  • R. Graham
Article

Abstract

Previous work on Fokker Planck equations with manifest detailed balance is generalized to include also the case without manifest detailed balance. The two cases are unified by exhibiting a general time reversal transformation with respect to which any Fokker Planck equation satisfies detailed balance, provided its steady state distribution exists. We also introduce a new method for solving some Fokker Planck equations with nonvanishing steady state drift by analytic continuation of the solution of a hermitian eigenvalue problem.
