Abstract(in English) The intermittent control during human quiet standing is a hypothetical neural control strategy that we have proposed in recent years. In this model, the standing posture is stabilized by switching between on and off in the use of a time-delay proportional-derivative feedback controller discontinuously depending on the postural state. By taking stochastic nature of the postural dynamics (postural sway) into account, the model driven by additive noise can be described by a hybrid stochastic differential equation. It is preferable that dynamics of such model is analyzed by a time evolution of probability density function of the state point, which can be described by a Fokker-Planck equation, rather than by that of a single sampled state point. Because a solution of a Fokker-Planck equation is a Markov process, we can obtain a finite state Markov-chain approximation of a Fokker-Planck equation using a finite element analysis that discretizes the equation in time and space. However, only few studies so far focused on the use of a finite element analysis for Fokker-Planck equation, particularly hybrid stochastic differential equations. In this study, we establish an algorithm for performing a finite element analysis for Fokker-Planck equations for hybrid stochastic differential equations. We then show that the developed algorithm can be successfully applied to the analysis of the intermittent postural control model.
