Summary

By separating the drift coefficients in the Fokker-Planck equation into two parts, one associated with the vanishing probability flow and another with the circulatory probability flow, a method is devised to obtain the exact stationary-state solutions for nonlinear systems under either external or parametric Gaussian white-noise excitations, or both. The conditions under which the method is applicable are less restrictive than the conditions for detailed balance which was used previously to develope a similar method; therefore, the solvable class is broader. Two schemes are then discussed for obtaining approximate solutions which may be either stationary or transient: (1) cumulant closure, and (2) generalized equivalent linearization.
