Stochastic diffusion process in probability theory
In probability theory , a McKean–Vlasov process is a stochastic process described by a stochastic differential equation where the coefficients of the diffusion depend on the distribution of the solution itself.[1] [2] The equations are a model for Vlasov equation and were first studied by Henry McKean in 1966.[3] It is an example of propagation of chaos , in that it can be obtained as a limit of a mean-field system of interacting particles: as the number of particles tends to infinity, the interactions between any single particle and the rest of the pool will only depend on the particle itself.[4]

)
→
M
d
(
R

{\displaystyle \sigma :\mathbb {R} ^{d}\times {\mathcal {P}}(\mathbb {R} ^{d})\to {\mathcal {M}}_{d}(\mathbb {R} )}
where
P
(

{\displaystyle {\mathcal {P}}(\mathbb {R} ^{d})}
is the space of probability distributions on
R

{\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{d}}
equipped with the Wasserstein metric

A stochastic process

{\displaystyle (X_{t})_{t\geq 0}}

-dimensional Wiener process . This process is non-linear, in the sense that the associated Fokker-Planck equation for

{\displaystyle \mu _{t}}
is a non-linear partial differential equation .[5] [6]
Existence of a solution [ edit ]

there is a unique strong solution to the McKean-Vlasov system of equations on

Propagation of chaos [ edit ]
The McKean-Vlasov process is an example of propagation of chaos .[4] What this means is that many McKean-Vlasov process can be obtained as the limit of discrete systems of stochastic differential equations
(
X
t
i
)
1
≤
i
≤
N
{\displaystyle (X_{t}^{i})_{1\leq i\leq N}}
.
Formally, define
(
X
i
)
1
≤
i
≤
N
{\displaystyle (X^{i})_{1\leq i\leq N}}
to be the
d
{\displaystyle d}
-dimensional solutions to:
(
X
0
i
)
1
≤
i
≤
N
{\displaystyle (X_{0}^{i})_{1\leq i\leq N}}
are i.i.d with law
f
0
{\displaystyle f_{0}}
d
X
t
i
=
σ
(
X
t
i
,
μ
X
t
)
d
B
t
i
+
b
(
X
t
i
,
μ
X
t
)
d
t
{\displaystyle dX_{t}^{i}=\sigma (X_{t}^{i},\mu _{X_{t}})dB_{t}^{i}+b(X_{t}^{i},\mu _{X_{t}})dt}
where the
(
B
i
)
1
≤
i
≤
N
{\displaystyle (B^{i})_{1\leq i\leq N}}
are i.i.d Brownian motion , and
μ
X
t
{\displaystyle \mu _{X_{t}}}
is the empirical measure associated with
X
t
{\displaystyle X_{t}}
defined by
μ
X
t
:=
1
N
∑
1
≤
i
≤
N
δ
X
t
i
{\displaystyle \mu _{X_{t}}:={\frac {1}{N}}\sum \limits _{1\leq i\leq N}\delta _{X_{t}^{i}}}
where
δ
{\displaystyle \delta }
is the Dirac measure .
Propagation of chaos is the property that, as the number of particles
N
→
+
∞
{\displaystyle N\to +\infty }
, the interaction between any two particles vanishes, and the random empirical measure
μ
X
t
{\displaystyle \mu _{X_{t}}}
is replaced by the deterministic distribution
μ
t
{\displaystyle \mu _{t}}
.
Under some regularity conditions,[4] the mean-field process just defined will converge to the corresponding McKean-Vlasov process.
