Nov 26, 2022 at 17:08 comment added basics number of particles at each point in space. If you you increase tfin, i guess that the final distribution would go into a Gaussian, approximately
Nov 26, 2022 at 16:49 comment added ColorStatistics This is very insightful. I should have mentioned that my background is economics so I might be confused about things that are taken for granted in physics, in a diffusion problem. To save myself such potential confusion, can you please describe what is plotted on the x-axis in the final density plot that your problem produces? Thank you in advance.
Nov 26, 2022 at 15:59 comment added John Doty Note that we understand diffusion models based on differential equations as approximations of more realistic probabilistic models of the microscopic physics. So, it's not too surprising that you may return to a probabilistic model (on a different scale to be practical).
Nov 26, 2022 at 15:54 comment added ColorStatistics The second link worked. I will work through the math and code you provided and will follow up. Thank you.
Nov 26, 2022 at 15:36 comment added basics I forgot to make the GIST. Try this one gist.github.com/Dade1989/a564620475b40d7594c587bdf19fea5c. Open in Colab and run
Nov 26, 2022 at 15:26 comment added ColorStatistics +1: Thank you. The link to the code didn't work for me, unfortunately. I'll try again.
