Consider a bivariate diffusion process with drift vector Ai(x)=aijxj and diffusion matrix bij where
aij=(−1−21−1),bij=(1001)
x=(x1,x2) and i,j=1,2.
(i) Write down the Fokker-Planck equation for the probability P(x1,x2,t).
(ii) Plot the drift vector as a vector field around the origin in the region ∣x1∣<1, ∣x2∣<1.
(iii) Obtain the stationary covariances Cij=⟨xixj⟩ in terms of the matrices aij and bij and hence compute their explicit values.
