Another form of the Langevin used in Statistical mechanics ignores inertial accelerations like ma, and instead approximate the velocity of the suspended particles as having a velocity that is linearly related to the forces acting upon the particle. This is in the small particle limit, so

I'm having difficulty understanding the meaning of these equations because theres no mention here (or anywhere that i can find so far on the internet) as to what the index is referring to within the equations. Is it as simple as coordinates? or a more complicated set of operators?

To do: -Add a section (or a new page? or both with one a summary of the other?) on noise terms, explaining what is meant by a 'continuous random function', what is needed to specify it (correlation functions) (i.e. the systems described on the page are not completely specified).

Can we add a clarification to what the variables mean? I know what m, ma, d, dv and F are, but the majority of people looking this up on Knowledge are probably doing so because they are unfamiliar with Physics. I am still working on figuring out B and n(t)

is known as the "mobility" of the particle in a viscous fluid. Whilst this would be a minor edit to the page, I think it is a valid one to mention this small particle limit. --

is more specific than just an SDE in physics, although it is sometimes used in that way. Thus I've moved some of the more general info I added a while back to a new article

Is the following information relevant to the part on solving (non-linear) Langevin Equations & can appropriate text be put in by someone qualified to do so?

It is from a citation for Prof W.T.Coffey (author of cited books on The Langevin Equation) when he became a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 1999:

is negligible in comparision to the other terms. Consequently, the form of "the" Langevin equation I am used to using is

I added a link to the Wiener process page for the noise term. Also, this article really should be combined with the
