29 m/! time

30 We started with: and found that for T>> m/! : but we could have got this directly by solving:

32 Diffusion coefficient

33 Consider the ordinary differential equation: Simple Euler integration scheme gives: Is it safe to use the above formula replacing with? Let us experiment with the provided numerical code!!!

34 X(t) t

35

36 But if we are interested in behaviour over time scales >> m/!: Formally analogous to the Langevin equation that we solved before:

37 Recall the solution of the velocity of the freely diffusing particle: Using the previous analogy we have:

38 Spring constant from equilibrium properties Friction coefficient from decay of autocorrelation function

39 Source:

40 Consider an oscillator without friction: The instantaneous potential and kinetic energies are: The average energy is:

41 We can look at the trajectory of our stochastic oscillator as a superposition of pure oscillatory modes. Let us compute the Fourier transform of :

42 From what we saw for the simple oscillator, the average energy stored in the mode with angular frequency w is so that the corresponding power is: From the previously calculated Fourier transform we have:

43 Use the provided numerical code to: 1) Generate a trajectory for the stochastic oscillator 2) Fourier transform the data and compute the power spectrum 3) Fit the power spectrum with the functional derived before
