Path Integrals for Stochastic Processes - An Introduction

Horacio S Wio

Book Description
This book provides an introductory albeit solid presentation of path integration techniques as applied to the field of stochastic processes. The subject began with the work of Wiener during the 1920's, corresponding to a sum over random trajectories, anticipating by two decades Feynman's famous work on the path integral representation of quantum mechanics. However, the true trigger for the application of these techniques within nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and stochastic processes was the work of Onsager and Machlup in the early 1950's. The last quarter of the 20th century has witnessed a growing interest in this technique and its application in several branches of research, even outside physics (for instance, in economy).

The aim of this book is to offer a brief but complete presentation of the path integral approach to stochastic processes. It could be used as an advanced textbook for graduate students and even ambitious undergraduates in physics. It describes how to apply these techniques for both Markov and non-Markov processes. The path expansion (or semiclassical approximation) is discussed and adapted to the stochastic context. Also, some examples of nonlinear transformations and some applications are discussed, as well as examples of rather unusual applications. An extensive bibliography is included. The book is detailed enough to capture the interest of the curious reader, and complete enough to provide a solid background to explore the research literature and start exploiting the learned material in real situations.
Readership: Advanced undergraduate and graduate students, researchers interested in stochastic analysis and statistical physics.

Abstract
This article summarizes briefly the presentation given by the author at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on ※Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy and its Advanced Technological Applications§, held in Perpignan, France, in September 2011. The purpose of the invited presentation at the workshop was to review and summarize the basic theory of fractional dynamics (Hilfer, Phys Rev E 48:2466, 1993; Hilfer and Anton, Phys Rev E Rapid Commun 51:R848, 1995; Hilfer, Fractals 3(1):211, 1995; Hilfer, Chaos Solitons Fractals 5:1475, 1995; Hilfer, Fractals 3:549, 1995; Hilfer, Physica A 221:89, 1995; Hilfer, On fractional diffusion and its relation with continuous time random walks.

It was argued, that broadband dielectric spectroscopy might be useful to test effective field theories based on fractional dynamics.

Formulation of Euler每Lagrange equations for fractional variational problems

Om P. Agrawal

Publication information: Om P. Agrawal, Formulation of Euler每Lagrange equations for fractional variational problems. Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications 272(1), 2002, Pages 368每379. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022247X02001804

Abstract
This paper presents extensions to traditional calculus of variations for systems containing fractional derivatives. The fractional derivative is described in the Riemann每Liouville sense. Specifically, we consider two problems, the simplest fractional variational problem and the fractional variational problem of Lagrange. Results of the first problem are extended to problems containing multiple fractional derivatives and unknown functions. For the second problem, we also present a Lagrange type multiplier rule. For both problems, we develop the Euler每Lagrange type necessary conditions which must be satisfied for the given functional to be extremum. Two problems are considered to demonstrate the application of the formulation. The formulation presented and the resulting equations are very similar to those that appear in the field of classical calculus of variations.
