It is shown that a Fokker–Planck equation ∂P/∂t=−∑ n i=1∂[Q i (q)P]/ ∂q i + 1/2 ∑ n i, j=1σ i j  ∂2 P/ ∂q i  ∂q j with n≥3 may admit an asymptotic steady‐state solution P → P eq(q) that is independent of t only if the necessary condition min{2(1−2/n)[∫(Q ⋅ σ− 1  ⋅ Q) n/2 d n q]2/n , [∫Ω‖S‖ n/2 d n q]2/n } >2−1+2/n π1+1/n [Γ((n+1)/2)]−2/n n 2 [det(σ i j )]1/n is satisfied, where S=S(q) ≡∑ n i=1∂Q i (q)/ ∂q i and the second integral is over the q‐space region Ω≡{q ∈ R n such that S(q)<0}. In addition, it is demonstrated that the probability distribution P=P(q,t) is localized in q‐space as t→∞ if S is bounded from above by a negative constant.
