Abstract
We apply the homotopy analysis method to the motion of noninteracting active Brownian particles (ABPs) under a general situation such as in the presence of external fields, external torques, or even moving on non-Euclidean geometries. Within this framework, a general expression as a series solution in time for the probability density function (PDF) satisfying the Fokker-Planck (FP) equation is elucidated. Using the latter PDF, their respective mean values (first and second moments) are also found in general. Applications of the present technique are offered by solving classic ABP situations, namely free noninteracting ABPs, ABPs under a Poiseuille flow, and even ABPs confined to move on any Riemannian manifold. To improve the convergence of the obtained series solution for each situation, Padé approximants are incorporated. It is worth mentioning that the offered methodology may exactly be applied to other fields such as chemistry, biology, or econophysics where a FP equation governs the system.
