In the vicinity of walls the mobility of colloidal particles depends on the distance from the wall. As a consequence, the noise in the Langevin equation describing the overdamped Brownian dynamics is multiplicative and therefore ill defined. The correct stochastic calculus is determined by equilibrium statistical physics: it is the Klimontovich calculus. However, the underdamped Brownian dynamics is well defined. We investigate the overdamped limit in the framework of adiabatic elemination and we present a formal solution of the underdamped Langevin equation which allows to perform the overdamped limit on the level of the Kramers-Moyal coefficients.
