Abstract:
We derive the time-dependent univariate and bivariate probability distribution function for an overdamped system with a quadratic potential driven by colored Gaussian noise, whose amplitude depends on the system state x as [x](alpha). Particular attention is paid to the effect of the correlation function of the noise on the statistical properties of the system. We obtain exact expressions for the fractional moments as well as the correlation function of the system and calculate the fractal dimension. We also consider the special case of a constant potential and determine the criteria for anomalous diffusion and stochastic localization of free particles.

Classification of Systems-I
Homogeneity dictates that if an input x(t) is multiplied by a constant c, the output y(t) is multiplied by the same constant. Mathematically, this is expressed as:
Linear time-invariant Systems
The input-output behavior of an LTI system can be fully defined by its response to an impulsive excitation at its input. Once this impulse response is known, the system's reaction to any other input can be calculated...
Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
Linear Approximation in Frequency Domain
In contrast, nonlinear systems do not inherently possess these properties. However, for small deviations around an operating point, a nonlinear system can often be approximated as linear.
