scholarly journals Invariance principle and model reduction for the Fokker–Planck equation

The principle of dynamic invariance is applied to obtain closed moment equations from the Fokker–Planck kinetic equation. The analysis is carried out to explicit formulae for computation of the lowest eigenvalue and of the corresponding eigenfunction for arbitrary potentials. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Multiscale modelling at the physics–chemistry–biology interface’.

For the Fokker-Planck-equation for a plasma the system of moment equations is derived. The highest order moments considered are the components of the heat flux. For these the condition must be satisfied that they are small compared with (5/2) p √p/ϱe. All moments of lower order, especially the difference velocity of electrons and ions (i.e. the electrical current) and the anisotropy of pressure are arbitrary in this approximation.

AbstractWe propose and study a model describing an infinite population of point entities arriving in and departing from $$X=\mathbb {R}^d$$ X = R d , $$d\ge 1$$ d ≥ 1 . The already existing entities force each other to leave the population (repulsion) and attract the newcomers. The evolution of the population states is obtained by solving the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation. Without interactions, the evolution preserves states in which the probability $$p(n,\Lambda )$$ p ( n , Λ ) of finding n points in a compact vessel $$\Lambda \subset X$$ Λ ⊂ X obeys the Poisson law. As we show, for pure attraction the decay of $$p(n,\Lambda )$$ p ( n , Λ ) with $$n\rightarrow +\infty $$ n → + ∞ may be essentially slower. The main result is the statement that in the presence of repulsion—even of an arbitrary short range—the evolution preserves states in which the decay of $$p(n,\Lambda )$$ p ( n , Λ ) is at most Poissonian. We also derive the corresponding kinetic equation, the numerical solutions of which can provide more detailed information on the interplay between attraction and repulsion. Further possibilities in studying the proposed model are also discussed.

Thirteen moments are taken of the collision term in the Boltzmann–Fokker– Planck equation for a multi-species, multi-temperature, hot plasma, following the method first developed by Grad for neutral gases. The collision integrals are evaluated for each colliding species pair. These integrals give, in particular, the rate of exchange of momentum and energy produced by collisions. The set of integrals may be combined with moments of the remaining terms in the Boltzmann equation to give thirteen moment equations for each species of particle. To complete the calculation, extensive use was made of the symbolic computer language REDUCE.

AbstractWe define a time-changed fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process by composing a fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process with the inverse of a subordinator. Properties of the moments of such process are investigated and the existence of the density is shown. We also provide a generalized Fokker-Planck equation for the density of the process.
