General properties of nonlinear mean field Fokker-Planck equations

open access: yes, 2007
Recently, several authors have tried to extend the usual concepts of thermodynamics and kinetic theory in order to deal with distributions that can be non-Boltzmannian. For dissipative systems described by the canonical ensemble, this leads to the notion

On a Fokker-Planck equation for wealth distribution

open access: yes, 2018
We study here a Fokker-Planck equation with variable coefficient of diffusion and boundary conditions which appears in the study of the wealth distribution in a multi-agent society [ 2 , 10 , 22 ]. In particular, we analyze the large-time behavior of the

Periodic long-time behaviour for an approximate model of nematic polymers

open access: yes, 2011
We study the long-time behaviour of a nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation, which models the evolution of rigid polymers in a given flow, after a closure approximation.

Onset of Fokker-Planck dynamics within a Closed Finite Spin System

open access: yes, 2012
Relaxation according to Fokker-Planck equations is a standard scenario in classical statistical mechanics. It is however not obvious how such an equilibration may emerge within a closed, finite quantum system.

Fokker-Planck-Equation Approach to Flow Alignment in Liquid Crystals

open access: yes, 1976
A nonlinear inhomogeneous relaxation equation for the alignment tensor is derived from a Fokker-Planck-equation for the orientational distribution function where torques exerted by a molecular field and by the gradient of the flow velocity are taken into

Binary spectral collocation method for the nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation

open access: yesJournal of Algorithms & Computational Technology
A mixed Laguerre-Legendre spectral collocation schemes is constructed for initial-boundary value problem of the nonlinear Fokker-Planck nonhomogeneous equations and the linear Fokker-Planck homogeneous equation by using the Laguerre interpolation ...

Brownian motion of grains and negative friction in dusty plasmas

open access: yesCondensed Matter Physics, 2004
Within the approximation of dominant charging collisions the explicit microscopic calculations of the Fokker-Planck kinetic coefficients for highly-charged grains moving in plasma are performed.

Stochastic analysis of surface roughness

open access: yes, 2003
For the characterization of surface height profiles we present a new stochastic approach which is based on the theory of Markov processes. With this analysis we achieve a characterization of the complexity of the surface roughness by means of a Fokker ...

Global existence for the Vlasov–Euler–Fokker–Planck system in low-regularity space

open access: yesResults in Applied Mathematics
This paper investigates the global well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for the Vlasov–Fokker–Planck equation coupled with the incompressible Euler system around a normalized global Maxwellian in a periodic spatial domain.
