23. l(φ) evolves according to a functional Fokker-Planck equation with a nonpositive diffusion coefficient. This cannot be simulated by a Brownian motion of φ. In quantum optics this problem is known to occur in the Glauber-Sudarshan P representation of the density matrix. See, e.g., Ref. [20], Chap. 10, Sec. 7.
