Aug 18, 2021 at 9:10 comment added kevinkayaks Makes sense! I was misunderstanding your use of $W$
Aug 18, 2021 at 9:00 comment added Kurt G. @kevinkayaks : to your doubts in the newer comments : no we have $E[W(u)W(v)]=\min(u,v)$, which implies $E[x^2]=t^3/3\,.$ Writing $W(u)=\int_0^u\xi(s)\,ds$ where $\xi$ is white noise we get the same relations from $E[\xi(u)\xi(v)]=\delta(u-v)\,.$
Aug 18, 2021 at 8:54 comment added Kurt G. @kevinkayaks : to your question in the comment from Jun 20 : the joint distribution of position and velocity satisfies $\partial_t P=-v\,\partial_x P+\frac{1}{2}\partial_{vv}P$ as I derived in my first answer to your original question.
Aug 17, 2021 at 22:03 comment added kevinkayaks Per your earlier answer here physics.stackexchange.com/questions/653279/… you simply forgot to eat up one of the integrals between writing $E(W(u)W(v))$ and $\min(u,v)$ if I am correct.
Aug 17, 2021 at 21:54 comment added kevinkayaks $E[W(u)W(v)] = \delta(u-v)$ by definition, does it not ? This gives $E(x^2) = t^3/2$, not $t^3/3$.

Jun 20, 2021 at 18:37 comment added kevinkayaks Yes, 1D Kurt - $D$ is just a diffusivity. Regardless the variance is not challenging, and the velocity distribution satisifies a diffusion equation $ \partial_t P(v,t) = \frac{\partial^2}{\partial v ^2} P(v,t)$, but what equations do the position distribution or the joint distribution of position and velocity satisfy?
Jun 20, 2021 at 17:02 comment added Kurt G. In that case, even simpler. We can drop the index $i$ and have a variance of $D^2t^3/3$ of the position $D\int_0^tW(s)\,ds\,.$ Same calculation.
Jun 20, 2021 at 11:43 comment added Quillo I am not sure it's a D dimensional problem.. probably D is just the diffusion coefficient.
