A Stochastic Diffusion Process for the Dirichlet Distribution

Figure 2

Time evolution of the joint probability, , extracted from the numerical solution of (18)–(20). The initial condition is a box with diffused sides. By , the distribution converges to the same Dirichlet distribution as in Figure 1.
