A Note on the Smoluchowski-Kramers Approximation for the Langevin Equation with Reflection

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

According to the Smoluchowski-Kramers approximation, the solution of the equation μq¨tμ=b(qtμ)−q˙tμ+Σ(qtμ)W˙t,q0μ=q,q˙0μ=pμ\ddot{q}^μ_t=b(q^μ_t)-\dot{q}^μ_t+Σ(q^μ_t)\dot{W}_t, q^μ_0=q, \dot{q}^μ_0=p converges to the solution of the equation q˙t=b(qt)+Σ(qt)W˙t,q0=q\dot{q}_t=b(q_t)+Σ(q_t)\dot{W}_t, q_0=q as μ->0. We consider here a similar result for the Langevin process with elastic reflection on the boundary.
