A second order SDE for the Langevin process reflected at a completely inelastic boundary

Probability 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

It was shown recently that a Langevin process can be reflected at an energy absorbing boundary. Here, we establish that the law of this reflecting process can be characterized as the unique weak solution to a certain second order stochastic differential equation with constraints, which is in sharp contrast with a deterministic analog.
