Local Fractional Fokker-Planck Equation

Open access
Kolwankar, Kiran M., Gangal, Anil D.·1998·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

We propose a new class of differential equations, which we call local fractional differential equations. They involve local fractional derivatives and appear to be suitable to deal with phenomena taking place in fractal space and time. A local fractional analog of the Fokker-Planck equation has been derived starting from the Chapman-Kolmogorov condition. We solve the equation with a specific choice of the transition probability and show how subdiffusive behavior can arise.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
