A theorem allowing to derive deterministic evolution equations from stochastic evolution equations

Abstract

The deterministic evolution equations of classical as well as quantum mechanical models are derived from a set of stochastic evolution equations after taking an average over realizations using a theorem. Examples are given that show that deterministic quantum mechanical evolution equations, obtained initially by R.P. Feynman and subsequently studied by Boghosian and Taylor IV [B.M. Boghosian, W. Taylor IV, Phys. Rev. E 57 (1998) 54. See also arXiv:quant-ph/9904035] and Meyer [D.A. Meyer, Phys. Rev. E 55 (1997) 5261], among others, are derived from a set of stochastic evolution equations. In addition, a deterministic classical evolution equation for the diffusion of monomers, similar to the second Fick law, is also obtained.
