Abstract
An improved method for the description of hierarchical complex systems by means of a Fokker-Planck equation is presented. In particular the limited-memory Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno algorithm for constraint problems (L-BFGS-B) is used to minimize the distance between the numerical solutions of the Fokker-Planck equation and the empirical probability density functions and thus to estimate properly the drift and diffusion term of the Fokker-Planck equation. The optimisation routine is applied to a time series of velocity measurements obtained from a turbulent helium gas jet in order to demonstrate the benefits and to quantify the improvements of this new optimisation routine.
