Abstract

Understanding the mesoscopic behavior of dynamical systems described by Langevin equations with colored noise is a fundamental challenge in a variety of fields. We propose a new approach to derive closed-form equations for joint and marginal probability density functions of state variables. This approach is based on a so-called large-eddy-diffusivity closure and can be used to model a wide class of non-Markovian processes described by the noise with an arbitrary correlation function. We demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed probability density function method for several linear and nonlinear Langevin equations.
