In doing this, we use a piecewice linear approximation for the ratchet potential which is V (x) = 2.5 - (5 / 1.1) x for x < 1.1 and V (x) = - 2.5 + [ 5 / (2 π - 1.1) ] (x - 1.1) for 1.1 < x < 2 π. We solve the Fokker-Planck equation for 0 ≤ x ≤ 2 π with periodic boundary condition asking for continuity of the distribution and the current at x = 1.1.
