The moment equation closure method revisited through the use of complex fractional moments
2015
In this paper the solution of the Fokker Planck (FPK) equation in terms of (complex) fractional moments is presented. It is shown that by using concepts coming from fractional calculus, complex Mellin transform and related ones the probability density function response of nonlinear systems may be written in discretized form in terms of complex fractional moment not requiring a closure scheme.
Fokker Planck equation solved in terms of complex fractional moments
2014
Abstract In this paper the solution of the Fokker Planck (FPK) equation in terms of (complex) fractional moments is presented. It is shown that by using concepts coming from fractional calculus, complex Mellin transform and related ones, the solution of the FPK equation in terms of a finite number of complex moments may be easily found. It is shown that the probability density function (PDF) solution of the FPK equation is restored in the whole domain, including the trend at infinity with the exception of the value of the PDF in zero.
