Macroscopic limits for stochastic partial differential equations of McKean–Vlasov type

چکیده
A class of quasilinear stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs), driven by spatially correlated Brownian noise, is shown to become macroscopic (i.e., deterministic), as the length of the correlations tends to 0. The limit is the solution of a quasilinear partial differential equation. The quasilinear SPDEs are obtained as a continuum limit from the empirical distribution of a large number of stochastic ordinary differential equations (SODEs), coupled though a mean-field interaction and driven by correlated Brownian noise. The limit theorems are obtained by application of a general result on the convergence of exchangeable systems of processes. We also compare our approach to SODEs with the one introduced by Kunita.

Mean Field Forward-Backward Stochastic Differential Equations
The purpose of this note is to provide an existence result for the solution of fully coupled Forward Backward Stochastic Differential Equations (FBSDEs) of the mean field type. These equations occur in the study of mean field games and the optimal control of dynamics of the McKean Vlasov type.
متن کاملMean-field description and propagation of chaos in networks of Hodgkin-Huxley and FitzHugh-Nagumo neurons
We derive the mean-field equations arising as the limit of a network of interacting spiking neurons, as the number of neurons goes to infinity. The neurons belong to a fixed number of populations and are represented either by the Hodgkin-Huxley model or by one of its simplified version, the FitzHugh-Nagumo model. The synapses between neurons are either electrical or chemical. The network is ass...
متن کاملRisk-Sensitive Mean-Field Stochastic Differential Games
In this paper, we study a class of risk-sensitive mean-field stochastic differential games. Under regularity assumptions, we use results from standard risk-sensitive differential game theory to show that the mean-field value of the exponentiated cost functional coincides with the value function of a Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman-Fleming (HJBF) equation with an additional quadratic term. We provide an...
متن کاملSmooth, Homogeneous and Isotropic Solutions of Quasilinear Stochastic Partial Diierential Equations of Mckean-vlasov Type
Smooth, homogeneous and isotropic random elds are derived from the distribution of a system of diiusing particles with mean eld interaction. The main tools are stochastic ordinary diierential equations (SODE's) for the positions of the particles and stochastic partial diierential equations (SPDE's) for the mass distribution of the particles. The methods and results used in this paper generalize...
متن کاملForward-Backward Stochastic Differential Equations and Controlled McKean Vlasov Dynamics
The purpose of this paper is to provide a detailed probabilistic analysis of the optimal control of nonlinear stochastic dynamical systems of the McKean Vlasov type. Motivated by the recent interest in mean field games, we highlight the connection and the differences between the two sets of problems. We prove a new version of the stochastic maximum principle and give sufficient conditions for e...
