A nonlocal Fokker-Planck equation for non-Gaussian stochastic dynamical systems

Abstract This work is devoted to the study of a nonlocal Fokker–Planck equation for a class of stochastic differential equations with α -stable Levy motion ( 0 α 2 ). The existence and uniqueness of the weak solution is proved under suitable conditions, by a vanishing viscosity method.
