Chapman-Kolmogorov equation and path integrals for discrete chaos in presence of noise

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

We derive an equation of the Chapman-Kolmogorov type for discrete multi-dimensional mappings under the action of additive and multiplicative noise with arbitrary distribution function. The resulting equation is reduced to a Fredholm integral equation. By iteration of the Chapman-Kolmogorov equation as usual, a path integral solution is found. Specializing the distribution function of the noise to a Gaussian distribution and taking the Fourier transform contant can be made with the path integral formulation used by Shraiman, Wayne and Martin.
