Langevin Equations

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Synergetics ((SSSYN,volume 18))

Abstract

We first investigate the solution of the Langevin equation for Brownian motion. In Sect. 3.2 we treat a system of linear Langevin equations, followed in Sects. 3.3, 4 by general nonlinear Langevin equations.
