In this paper we prove the convergence of a suitable particle system towards the BGK model. More precisely, we consider an interacting stochastic particle system in which each particle can instantaneously thermalize locally. We show that,…
We introduce a N-particle system which approaches, in the mean-field limit, the solutions of the Landau equation with Coulomb singularity. This model plays the same role as the Kac's model for the homogeneous Boltzmann equation.
In this work, we generalize M. Kac's original many-particle binary stochastic model to derive a space homogeneous Boltzmann equation that includes a linear combination of higher-order collisional terms. First, we prove an abstract theorem…

We consider Kac's 1D N-particle system coupled to an ideal thermostat at temperature T, introduced by Bonetto, Loss, and Vaidyanathan in 2014. We obtain a propagation of chaos result for this system, with explicit and uniform-in-time rates…
We introduce a stochastic $N$-particle system and show that, as $N\to \infty$, an effective description ruled by the homogeneous fermionic Uehling-Uhlenbeck equation is recovered. The particle model we consider is the same as the Kac model…

In this work, we prove the well--posedness of a singularly interacting stochastic particle system and we establish propagation of chaos result towards the one-dimensional parabolic-parabolic Keller-Segel model.
We consider a stochastic particle system in which a finite number of particles interact with one another via a common energy tank. Interaction rate for each particle is proportional to the square root of its kinetic energy, as is consistent…
The Boltzmann equation is an integro-differential equation which describes the density function of the distribution of the velocities of the molecules of dilute monoatomic gases under the assumption that the energy is only transferred via…
