We consider general stochastic systems of interacting particles with noise which are relevant as models for the collective behavior of animals, and rigorously prove that in the mean-field limit the system is close to the solution of a kinetic PDE. Our aim is to include models widely studied in the literature such as the Cucker–Smale model, adding noise to the behavior of individuals. The difficulty, as compared to the classical case of globally Lipschitz potentials, is that in several models the interaction potential between particles is only locally Lipschitz, the local Lipschitz constant growing to infinity with the size of the region considered. With this in mind, we present an extension of the classical theory for globally Lipschitz interactions, which works for only locally Lipschitz ones.

AbstractWe prove that the flow of the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation (DNLS) is the mean field limit of the quantum dynamics of the Bose–Hubbard model for N interacting particles. In particular, we show that the Wick symbol of the annihilation operators evolved in the Heisenberg picture converges, as N becomes large, to the solution of the DNLS. A quantitative $$L^p$$ L p -estimate, for any $$p \ge 1$$ p ≥ 1 , is obtained with a linear dependence on time due to a Gaussian measure on initial data coherent states.

AbstractIn this paper, we propose and study a stochastic aggregation–diffusion equation of the Keller–Segel (KS) type for modeling the chemotaxis in dimensions $$d=2,3$$ d = 2 , 3 . Unlike the classical deterministic KS system, which only allows for idiosyncratic noises, the stochastic KS equation is derived from an interacting particle system subject to both idiosyncratic and common noises. Both the unique existence of solutions to the stochastic KS equation and the mean-field limit result are addressed.

AbstractWe prove a mean field limit, a law of large numbers and a central limit theorem for a system of point vortices on the 2D torus at equilibrium with positive temperature. The point vortices are formal solutions of a class of equations generalising the Euler equations, and are also known in the literature as generalised inviscid SQG. The mean-field limit is a steady solution of the equations, the CLT limit is a stationary distribution of the equations.

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>The Nonlinear Noisy Leaky Integrate and Fire (NNLIF) model is widely used to describe the dynamics of neural networks after a diffusive approximation of the mean-field limit of a stochastic differential equation. In previous works, many qualitative results were obtained: global existence in the inhibitory case, finite-time blow-up in the excitatory case, convergence towards stationary states in the weak connectivity regime. In this article, we refine some of these results in order to foster the understanding of the model. We prove with deterministic tools that blow-up is systematic in highly connected excitatory networks. Then, we show that a relatively weak control on the firing rate suffices to obtain global-in-time existence of classical solutions.</p>

AbstractIn this paper, we study a large multi-server loss model under the SQ(d) routeing scheme when the service time distributions are general with finite mean. Previous works have addressed the exponential service time case when the number of servers goes to infinity, giving rise to a mean field model. The fixed point of the limiting mean field equations (MFEs) was seen to be insensitive to the service time distribution in simulations, but no proof was available. While insensitivity is well known for loss systems, the models, even with state-dependent inputs, belong to the class of linear Markov models. In the context of SQ(d) routeing, the resulting model belongs to the class of nonlinear Markov processes (processes whose generator itself depends on the distribution) for which traditional arguments do not directly apply. Showing insensitivity to the general service time distributions has thus remained an open problem. Obtaining the MFEs in this case poses a challenge due to the resulting Markov description of the system being in positive orthant as opposed to a finite chain in the exponential case. In this paper, we first obtain the MFEs and then show that the MFEs have a unique fixed point that coincides with the fixed point in the exponential case, thus establishing insensitivity. The approach is via a measure-valued Markov process representation and the martingale problem to establish the mean field limit.
