The propagation of chaos property for a system of interacting particles, describing the spatial evolution of a network of interacting filaments is studied. The creation of a network of mycelium is analyzed as representative case, and the generality of the modeling choices are discussed. Convergence of the empirical density for the particle system to its mean-field limit is proved, and a result of regularity for the solution is presented.

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 rigorously justify the mean-field limit of an N-particle system subject to Brownian motions and interacting through the Newtonian potential in $${\mathbb {R}}^3$$ R 3 . Our result leads to a derivation of the Vlasov–Poisson–Fokker–Planck (VPFP) equations from the regularized microscopic N-particle system. More precisely, we show that the maximal distance between the exact microscopic trajectories and the mean-field trajectories is bounded by $$N^{-\frac{1}{3}+\varepsilon }$$ N - 1 3 + ε ($$\frac{1}{63}\le \varepsilon <\frac{1}{36}$$ 1 63 ≤ ε < 1 36 ) with a blob size of $$N^{-\delta }$$ N - δ ($$\frac{1}{3}\le \delta <\frac{19}{54}-\frac{2\varepsilon }{3}$$ 1 3 ≤ δ < 19 54 - 2 ε 3 ) up to a probability of $$1-N^{-\alpha }$$ 1 - N - α for any $$\alpha >0$$ α > 0 . Moreover, we prove the convergence rate between the empirical measure associated to the regularized particle system and the solution of the VPFP equations. The technical novelty of this paper is that our estimates rely on the randomness coming from the initial data and from the Brownian motions.

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.

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.
