Power-law tails from multiplicative noise.

We show that the well-known linear Langevin equation, modeling the Brownian motion and leading to a Gaussian stationary distribution of the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation, is changed by the smallest multiplicative noise. This leads to a power-law tail of the distribution for sufficiently large momenta. At finite ratio of the correlation strength for the multiplicative and the additive noises the stationary energy distribution becomes exactly the Tsallis distribution.
