Abstract
Solution of Fokker-Planck equation using Trotter's formula is discussed. The method is illustrated on the linear Fokker-Planck equation and the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck solution is obtained. For the case of a general nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation the method yields an integral representation amenable to approximations. In the lowest order approximation Suzuki's scaling result emerges. Physical interpretation and limitations of the approximations are also discussed.
