Abstract

The diffusion of a low-inertia particle in the field of a random force (in the form of a random process) is studied using the simplest problem admitting an analytic solution as an example. The problem of determining the statistical characteristics of the particle's coordinates (the Kramers problem) is discussed in detail.
