  Using a method of eigenfunction expansion, a stochastic equation is developed
for the generalized Schr{\"o}dinger equation with random fluctuations. The wave
field $ {\psi} $ is expanded in terms of eigenfunctions: $ {\psi} = \sum_{n}
a_{n} (t) {\phi}_{n} (x) $, with $ {\phi}_{n} $ being the eigenfunction that
satisfies the eigenvalue equation $ H_{0} {\phi}_{n} = {\lambda}_{n} {\phi}_{n}
$, where $ H_{0} $ is the reference "Hamiltonian" conventionally called
"unperturbed" Hamiltonian. The Langevin equation is derived for the expansion
coefficient $ a_{n} (t) $, and it is converted to the Fokker--Planck (FP)
equation for a set $ \{ a_{n} \} $ under the assumption of the Gaussian white
noise for the fluctuation. This procedure is carried out by a functional
integral, in which the functional Jacobian plays a crucial role for determining
the form of the FP equation. The analyses are given for the FP equation by
adopting several approximate schemes.
