The usual Langevin approach to describe systems driven by noise fails to describe the long time behavior of systems with multiple attractors. The solution of the associated linear Fokker-Planck equation is always unique, even though it…
In recent work, Chow, Huang, Li and Zhou introduced the study of Fokker-Planck equations for a free energy function defined on a finite graph. When $N\ge 2$ is the number of vertices of the graph, they show that the corresponding…

We consider the graphon mean-field system introduced in the work of Bayraktar, Chakraborty, and Wu. It is the large-population limit of a heterogeneously interacting diffusive particle system, where the interaction is of mean-field type…
In this article we study the convergence of a stochastic particle system that interacts through threshold hitting times towards a novel equation of McKean-Vlasov type. The particle system is motivated by an original model for the behavior…

We investigate the behavior of self-propelled particles in infinite space dimensions by comparing two powerful approaches in many-body dynamics: the Fokker-Planck equation and dynamical mean-field theory. The dynamics of the particles at…
In this paper, a delay Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation associated to a stochastic interacting particle system with delay is investigated analytically. Under certain restrictions on the parameters well-posedness and ergodicity of the…
Graph signal processing is an emerging field which aims to model processes that exist on the nodes of a network and are explained through diffusion over this structure. Graph signal processing works have heretofore assumed knowledge of the…
A graph reaction--diffusion (RD) equation is a system of differential equations that is defined on the nodes of a graph. Consider a sequence of growing graphs that converges in cut norm to a limiting graphon. We show that the solutions of…
We consider the mean field Fokker-Planck equation subject to nonlinear no-flux boundary conditions, which necessarily arise when subjecting a system of Brownian particles interacting via a pair potential in a bounded domain. With the…
We study heterogeneously interacting diffusive particle systems with mean-field type interaction characterized by an underlying graphon and their finite particle approximations. Under suitable conditions, we obtain exponential concentration…
We derive the exchange-driven growth (EDG) equations as the mean-field limit of interacting particle systems on the complete graph. Extending previous work, we consider symmetric exchange kernels $c(k, l) = c(l, k)$ satisfying super-linear…
This paper investigates the gradient flow structure, well-posedness, and asymptotic behavior of the Fokker-Planck equation defined on locally uniformly finite graphs, which is highly non-trivial compared with the finite case. We first…
The goal of this work is to identify steady-state solutions to dynamical systems defined on large, random families of networks. We do so by passing to a continuum limit where the adjacency matrix is replaced by a non-local operator with…
Sparse neural networks promise efficiency, yet training them effectively remains a fundamental challenge. Despite advances in pruning methods that create sparse architectures, understanding why some sparse structures are better trainable…
Stochastic transport processes on networked domains (modelled on metric graphs) arise in a variety of applications where diffusion and drift mechanisms interact with an underlying graph structure. The Fokker--Planck equation provides a…
We introduce a family of particle systems on sparse graphs where local interactions occur via hitting times, providing a dynamic and tractable model for default cascades in large sparsely-connected financial networks. Building on the…
A Fokker-Planck type equation for interacting particles with exclusion principle is analysed. The nonlinear drift gives rise to mathematical difficulties in controlling moments of the distribution function. Assuming enough initial moments…
