[Hint: Follow the stationary solution on page 9.] Check that the propagator verifies the time-dependent Fokker-Planck equation exactly. 3 Derive the stationary quasi-potential W (r) for the noisy van der Pol oscillator (page ). Can you write down another dynamical system having the same quasi-potential?
