Overdamped 2D Brownian motion for self-propelled and nonholonomic particles
Résumé
This paper provides a complete analytical solution to the Brownian
motion of a self-propelled particle that moves in two spatial dimensions in the
overdamped limit by satisfying kinematic constraints. The analytical expression of
any-order moment of the probability distribution is obtained by a direct integration of
the Langevin equation. Each moment is expressed as a multiple integral of the active
motion performed by the particle. This allows obtaining any order moment for any
active motion, i.e., when the particle is propelled by arbitrary time-dependent force
and torque. For the special case when the ratio between the force and the torque
is constant, the multiple integrals can be easily analytically solved and expressed as
the real or the imaginary part of suitable analytic functions. As an application of
the derived analytical results, the paper investigates the diusivity of the considered
Brownian motion for constant and for arbitrary time-dependent force and torque.
