Solution of the Fokker - Planck Transport Equation by Matrix Factorization
A matrix factorization method is used to solve the Fokker-Pianck (Landau) charged particle transport equation. By treating all phase space variables as discrete in analogy to S, neutronics, the collision term takes on a five-point difference form which is readily treatable by this method. In order to illustrate this technique, the energy deposited by fast ions in a geometrically spherical, Maxw...
متن کاملFractional Fokker-Planck equation, solution, and application.
Recently, Metzler et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 3563 (1999)], 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 the solution of the FFPE in terms of an integral transformation. The transformation maps the solution of ordi...
متن کاملThe Fokker-Planck equation
In 1984, H. Risken authored a book (H. Risken, The Fokker-Planck Equation: Methods of Solution, Applications, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, New York) discussing the Fokker-Planck equation for one variable, several variables, methods of solution and its applications, especially dealing with laser statistics. There has been a considerable progress on the topic as well as the topic has received greater...
متن کاملThe Fokker-Planck Equation
Stochastic differential equations (SDE) are used to model many situations including population dynamics, protein kinetics, turbulence, finance, and engineering [5, 6, 1]. Knowing the solution of the SDE in question leads to interesting analysis of the trajectories. Most SDE are unsolvable analytically and other methods must be used to analyze properties of the stochastic process. From the SDE, ...
متن کاملOn the accuracy of the Fokker-Planck and Fermi pencil beam equations for charged particle transport.
Electron beam dose calculations are often based on pencil beam formulas such as the Fermi-Eyges formula. The Fermi-Eyges formula gives an exact solution of the Fermi equation. The Fermi equation can be derived from a more fundamental mathematical model, the linear Boltzmann equation, in two steps. First, the linear Boltzmann equation is approximated by the Fokker-Planck equation. Second, the Fo...
