Based on a class of moderately interacting particle systems, we establish a quantitative approximation for density-dependent McKean-Vlasov SDEs and the corresponding nonlinear, nonlocal PDEs. The SDE is driven by both Brownian motion and…

We formulate a stochastic game of mean field type where the agents solve optimal stopping problems and interact through the proportion of players that have already stopped. Working with a continuum of agents, typical equilibria become…

The standard solution concept for stochastic games is Markov perfect equilibrium (MPE); however, its computation becomes intractable as the number of players increases. Instead, we consider mean field equilibrium (MFE) that has been…

We consider Markov models of large-scale networks where nodes are characterized by their local behavior and by a mobility model over a two-dimensional lattice. By assuming random walk, we prove convergence to a system of partial…

We study some systems of interacting fields whose evolution is given by some singular stochastic partial differential equations of mean field type. We provide a robust setting for their study and prove a well-posedness result and a…

This paper focuses on the long-term behavior of solutions to nonlinear stochastic Fokker-Planck equations driven by common noise, where the drift term has a linear dependence on the measure. These equations, which describe the evolution of…

This paper is concerned with the mean-field limit for the gradient flow evolution of particle systems with pairwise Riesz interactions, as the number of particles tends to infinity. Based on a modulated energy method, using regularity and…

We rigorously justify the mean-field limit of a $N$-particle system subject to the Brownian motion and interacting through a Newtonian potential in $\mathbb{R}^3$. Our result leads to a derivation of the Vlasov-Poisson-Fokkker-Planck (VPFP)…
