In this formulation, it is assumed that the probabilities. The goal now is to have a systematic way to compute the entries in the matrix. This is supposed to be some middle ground between the master equation and the fokkerplanck equation since it allows for jumps to be present in addition to diffusion, while it has the virtue of jump and diffusion to be neatly separated. Thanks for contributing an answer to mathematics stack exchange.
