Analysis of evolution problems of geography using mathematical apparatus of the Brownian motion
During recent decades the diagnosis and forecast of the state of the environment has become an important line of geographical research. The article deals with several general regularities of changes of various natural objects. The concept under discussion originates in the theory of the Brownian motion and inherits its mathematical apparatus, i.e. the Langevin equation. Description of evolution problems of geography which could be narrowed to this equation makes it possible to evaluate a number of indicators, first of all, the process dispersion, from the common perspective. The process dispersion values are necessary to calculate confidential intervals. By correlation with observed changes this could be useful to determine if the process dynamics represents targeted external impacts or it is governed by internal variations due to interactions of the objects with different parameters of inertia.
