Nonlinear Fokker-Planck Equations

Providing an introduction to the theory of nonlinear Fokker-Planck equations, this book discusses fundamental properties of transient and stationary solutions, emphasizing the stability analysis of stationary solutions by means of self-consistency equations, linear stability analysis, and Lyapunov''s direct method. Also treated are Langevin equations and correlation functions. Nonlinear Fokker-Pla...
