One of them is due to a conservative force in the corresponding Langevin equation. Another is implemented by Levy-Schroedinger semigroups which induce so-called topological Levy processes (Levy flights with locally modified jump rates in the master equation). Given a stationary probability function (pdf) associated with the Langevin-based fractional Fokker-Planck equation, we demonstrate that generically there exists a topological L\\'{e}vy process with the very same invariant pdf and in the reverse.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2009-09-20T14:39:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "levy flights", "langevin-based fractional fokker-planck equation", "stationary probability function", "invariant pdf", "external potentials" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.2478/s11534-009-0156-z", "journal": "Central European Journal of Physics", "year": 2010, "month": "Oct", "volume": 8, "number": 5, "pages": 699 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010CEJPh...8..699G" } } }
