A lattice version of the Fokker–Planck equation is introduced. The resulting numerical method is illustrated through the calculation of the electric conductivity of a one-dimensional charged fluid at zero and finite-temperature.

A simple numerical scheme is proposed for computing the probability of first passage failure, P(T), in an interval O-T, for oscillators with nonlinear damping. The method depends on the fact that, when the damping is light, the amplitude envelope, A(t), can be accurately approximated as a one-dimensional Markov process. Hence, estimates of P(T) are found, for both single and double-sided barriers, by solving the Fokker-Planck equation for A(t) with an appropriate absorbing barrier. The numerical solution of the Fokker-Planck equation is greatly simplified by using a discrete time random walk analog of A(t), with appropriate statistical properties. Results obtained by this method are compared with corresponding digital simulation estimates, in typical cases.

Abstract First, a new convergence analysis is given for the semidiscrete (finite elements in space) numerical method that is used in Le et al. (2016, Numerical solution of the time-fractional Fokker–Planck equation with general forcing. SIAM J. Numer. Anal.,54 1763–1784) to solve the time-fractional Fokker–Planck equation on a domain $\varOmega \times [0,T]$ with general forcing, i.e., where the forcing term is a function of both space and time. Stability and convergence are proved in a fractional norm that is stronger than the $L^2(\varOmega )$ norm used in the above paper. Furthermore, unlike the bounds proved in Le et al., the constant multipliers in our analysis do not blow up as the order of the fractional derivative $\alpha $ approaches the classical value of $1$. Secondly, for the semidiscrete (L1 scheme in time) method for the same Fokker–Planck problem, we present a new $L^2(\varOmega )$ convergence proof that avoids a flaw in the analysis of Le et al.’s paper for the semidiscrete (backward Euler scheme in time) method.

AbstractIn this work, a new numerical method to calculate the characteristics of the solution to stochastic differential equations is presented. This method is based on the Fokker–Planck equation for the transition probability function and the representation of the transition probability function by means of eigenfunctions of the Fokker–Planck operator. The results of the numerical experiments are presented.

Metzler et al. introduced a fractional Fokker-Planck equation (FFPE) describing a subdiffusive behavior of a particle under the combined influence of external nonlinear force field and a Boltzmann thermal heat bath. In this paper, we present an interval Shannon wavelet numerical method for the FFPE. In this method, a new concept named “dynamic interval wavelet” is proposed to solve the problem that the numerical solution of the fractional PDE is usually sensitive to boundary conditions. Comparing with the traditional wavelet defined in the interval, the Newton interpolator is employed instead of the Lagrange interpolation operator, so, the extrapolation points in the interval wavelet can be chosen dynamically to restrict the boundary effect without increase of the calculation amount. In order to avoid unlimited increasing of the extrapolation points, both the error tolerance and the condition number are taken as indicators for the dynamic choice of the extrapolation points. Then, combining with the finite difference technology, a new numerical method for the time fractional partial differential equation is constructed. A simple Fokker-Planck equation is taken as an example to illustrate the effectiveness by comparing with the Grunwald-Letnikov central difference approximation (GL-CDA).
