Derivation of diffusion coefficient of a Brownian particle in tilted periodic potential from the coordinate moments

In this research, diffusion of an overdamped Brownian particle in the tilted periodic potential is investigated. Using the one-dimensional hopping model, the formulations of the mean velocity VN and effective diffusion coefficient DN of the Brownian particle have been obtained B. Derrida, J. Stat. Phys. 31 (1983) 433]. Based on the relation between the effective diffusion coefficient and the moments of the mean first passage time, the formulation of effective diffusion coefficient Deff of the Brownian particle also has been obtained P. Reimann, et al., Phys. Rev. E 65 (2002) 031104]. In this research, we'll give another analytical expression of the effective diffusion coefficient Deff from the moments of the particle's coordinate.
