Popis: The description of the dynamics of particles undergoing diffusion in general relativity has been an object of interest in the last years. Most recently a new cosmological model with diffusion has been studied in which the evolution of the particle system is described by a Fokker-Planck equation. This equation is then coupled to a modified system of Einstein equations, in order to satisfy the energy conservation condition. Continuing with this work, we study in the present paper a spatially homogeneous and isotropic spacetime model with diffusion velocity. We write the system of ordinary differential equations of this particular model and obtain the solutions for which the scale factor in the Robertson Walker metric is linear in time. We analyse the asymptotic behavior of the subclass of spatially flat solutions. The system representing the homogeneous and isotropic model with diffusion is rewritten using dynamical variables. For the subclass of spatially flat solutions we were able to determine all equilibrium points and analyse their local stability properties.
