Details and Options

  • StratonovichProcess is also known as Stratonovich diffusion or stochastic differential equation (SDE).
  • StratonovichProcess is a continuous-time and continuous-state random process.
  • If the drift a is an -dimensional vector and the diffusion b an ×-dimensional matrix, the process is -dimensional and driven by an -dimensional WienerProcess.
  • Common specifications for coefficients a and b include:
  • a scalar, b scalar
    a scalar, b vector
    a vector, b vector
    a vector, b matrix
  • A stochastic differential equation is sometimes written as an integral equation .
  • The default initial time t0 is taken to be zero, and default initial state x0 is zero.
  • The default covariance Σ is the identity matrix.
  • A standard Stratonovich process has output , consisting of a subset of differential states .
  • Processes proc that can be converted to standard StratonovichProcess form include OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess, GeometricBrownianMotionProcess, ItoProcess, and StratonovichProcess.
  • The stochastic differential equations in sdeqns can be of the form , where is \[DifferentialD], which can be input using dd. The differentials and are taken to be Stratonovich differentials.
  • The output expression expr can be any expression involving x[t] and t.

The dynamics of a free particle under the effect of thermal fluctuation can be modeled by the Langevin equation of motion, , where is the standard WienerProcess and is the strength of the thermal noise. Here it is assumed that can only depend on and focus on the equation of velocity. There are two common ways to integrate the equation of motion: Ito formulation and Stratonovich formulation:

When is a constant, the two formulations are identical and lead to the same stationary distribution as :

If is velocity dependent, then due to the nature of the WienerProcess, has nonzero quadratic variation and the two formulations lead to different results. Convert Ito formulation to the equivalent Stratonovich formulation:
