Path integrals for Fokker-Planck equation described by generalized random walks

Path integral representations for Fokker-Planck (FP) equations, described by the random walks (RW) and the generalized random walks (GRW), are given. The GRW is a generalized one from the usual random walks to study non-linear, non-equilibrium processes. The GRW includes some memory effects and couplings through the jumping probabilities. To derive the path integrals of the processes, a transformation of probability, scalings of site (space) and step (time) are performed on the GRW. By a function in the exponent of the path integrals for the FP equation obtained by the RW or the GRW, a Lagrangian giving most probable path is introduced. From the Lagrangian, an effective Hamiltonian is deduced.
