= Mean drift from a Fokker--Planck equation

For a <probability density function>[probability density] on the whole real line, if the density and its <derivatives> decay sufficiently fast that all boundary terms vanish, two integrations by parts give
$$
\frac d{dt}\mathbb{E} X_t=\mathbb{E}[u(X_t)],
$$
while the diffusion term contributes zero to the first <moment>.
