An adaptive Gaussian mixture model approach based framework for solving fokker-planck kolmogorov equation related to high dimensional dynamical systems

Engineering systems are often modeled as a large dimensional random process with additive noise. The analysis of such system involves a solution to simultaneous system of Stochastic Differential Equations (SDE). The exact solution to the SDE is given by the evolution of the probability density function (pdf) of the state vector through the application of Stochastic Calculus. The Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov Equation (FPKE) provides approximate solution to the SDE by giving the time evolution equation for the non-Gaussian pdf of the state vector. In this paper, we outline a computational framework that combines linearization, clustering technique and the Adaptive Gaussian Mixture Model (AGMM) methodology for solving the Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov Equation (FPKE) related to a high dimensional system. The linearization and clustering technique facilitate easier decomposition of the overall high dimensional FPKE system into a finite number of much lower dimension FPKE systems. The decomposition enables the solution method to be faster. Numerical simulations test the efficacy of our developed framework.
