Abstract

We apply a proposal of Yuen and Tombesi for treating stochastic problems with negative diffusion to the analytically soluble problem of the single-mode anharmonic oscillator. We find that the associated stochastic realizations include divergent trajectories. It is possible, however, to solve the stochastic problem exactly, but the averaging must be performed with great care.
