Diffusion's induced transport in periodic channels and an inverse problem
Abstract
Description
A diffusion's induced transport is defined for a linear model of a Fokker-Plank equation under periodic boundary conditions in one-dimensional geometry. The flow is generated by a diffusion and a periodic deriving force induced by a velocity potential. An inverse problem is suggested for evaluating the deriving force in terms of the response function associated with the flow. It is also shown that the inverse problem can be partially solved under some simplifying assumption.
