Abstract

In a case study, the exact solution of a self-consistent Langevin equation associated with a nonlinear Fokker–Planck equation is derived. On the basis of this solution, a Monte Carlo simulation scheme for the Langevin equation is proposed. The case study addresses a generalized geometric Brownian walk that describes the collective dynamics of a large set of interacting stocks. Numerical results obtained from the Monte Carlo simulation are compared with analytical solutions derived from the nonlinear Fokker–Planck equation. The power of the Monte Carlo simulation is demonstrated for situations in which analytical solutions are not available.
