The scheme was derived from physical principles and is called the squareroot approximation (SQRA) scheme. We show that solutions to the SQRA equation converge to solutions of the Fokker-Planck equation using a discrete notion of G-convergence. Hence the squareroot approximation turns out to be a usefull approximation scheme to the Fokker-Planck equation in high dimensional spaces. As an example, in the special case of stationary Voronoi tessellations we use stochastic two-scale convergence to prove that this setting satisfies the G-convergence property. In particular, the class of tessellations for which the G-convergence result holds is not trivial.
