Fokker-Planck equation

Definition

$ n\in\mathbb N $
$ \mu:C(\mathbb R^n,\mathbb R^n) $
$ D:C^2(\mathbb R^n,\mathbb R^{n^2}) $
$ ::\mu(\mathbf{x}) $
$ ::\mathsf{D}(\mathbf{x}) $
$ f \in \mathrm{it} $
$ f:C^2(\mathbb R^n\times\mathbb R,\mathbb R) $
$ ::f(\mathbf{x},t) $
$ \frac{\partial }{\partial t} f = -\mathrm{div} (\mu \cdot f) + \sum_{i=1}^{n} \sum_{j=1}^{n} \frac{\partial^2}{\partial x_i \, \partial x_j} (\mathsf{D}_{ij}\cdot f) $

Discussion

Among other things, the Fokker-Planck equation also describes the evolution of the probability density of a Wiener process.
