The mean-field analysis of a multi-population agent-based model is performed. The model couples a particle dynamics driven by a nonlocal velocity with a Markow-type jump process on the probability that each agent has of belonging to a given…
Our motivation comes from the large population approximation of individual based models in population dynamics and population genetics. We propose a general method to investigate scaling limits of finite dimensional population size Markov…
Motivated by the occurrence in rate functions of time-dependent large-deviation principles, we study a class of non-negative functions $\mathscr L$ that induce a flow, given by $\mathscr L(\rho_t,\dot\rho_t)=0$. We derive necessary and…
We present a unified framework, with quantitative estimates, for deterministic interacting particle systems whose pairwise interactions may depend on heterogeneous labels. Heterogeneity is kept at every level by adding a frozen label…
We introduce a mean-field framework for the study of systems of interacting particles sharing a conserved quantity. The work generalises and unites the existing fields of asset-exchange models, often applied to socio-economic systems, and…
We develop a general framework to calculate the many-body density of states (DOS) of isolated and interacting quantum systems. Based on the generalized coherent state formalism and the Simon-Lieb bounds for a quantum partition function, our…
We develop a continuous mathematical model of population dynamics that describes the sequential emergence of new genotypes under limited resources. The framework models genotype density as a nonlinear flow in mutation space, combining…
We approximate the Bolker-Pacala model of population dynamics with the logistic Markov chain and analyze the latter. We find the asymptotics of the degenerated hypergeometric function and use these to prove a local CLT and large deviations…
We present a mathematical theory of dynamical fluctuations for the hard sphere gas in the Boltzmann-Grad limit. We prove that: (1) fluctuations of the empirical measure from the solution of the Boltzmann equation, scaled with the square…
This course explains how the usual mean field evolution partial differential equations (PDEs) in Statistical Physics - such as the Vlasov-Poisson system, the vorticity formulation of the two-dimensional Euler equation for incompressible…
For the regime-switching diffusion process with and without advection term we propose an integro-differential equation describing the densities of states continuously distributed over a segment. We demonstrate that there exists a…
With a scalar potential and a bivector potential, the vector field associated with the drift of a diffusion is decomposed into a generalized gradient field, a field perpendicular to the gradient, and a divergence-free field. We give such…
We prove several limit theorems that relate coalescent processes to continuous-state branching processes. Some of these theorems are stated in terms of the so-called generalized Fleming-Viot processes, which describe the evolution of a…
By generalizing a class of models recently introduced to account for protracted transients in biological systems, we identify a novel mechanism for hyperuniformity. In this model, competition of particles over a shared resource guides the…
The generalized Fleming-Viot processes were defined in 1999 by Donnelly and Kurtz using a particle model and by Bertoin and Le Gall in 2003 using stochastic flows of bridges. In both methods, the key argument used to characterize these…
The Kolmogorov-Feller equation for the probability density of a Markov process on a half-axis, which arises in important problems of biology, is considered. This process consists of random jumps distributed according to Laplace's law and a…
Fokker-Planck equations represent a suitable description of the finite-time behavior for a large class of particle systems as the size of the population tends to infinity. Recently, the theory of graph limits has been introduced in the…
The problem of deriving a gradient flow structure for the porous medium equation which is {\em thermodynamic}, in that it arises from the large deviations of some microscopic particle system, is studied. To this end, a rescaled zero-range…
We investigate the large population dynamics of a family of stochastic particle systems with three-state cyclic individual behaviour and parameter-dependent transition rates. On short time scales, the dynamics turns out to be approximated…
We study, in finite volume, a grand canonical version of the McKean-Vlasov equation where the total particle content is allowed to vary. The dynamics is anticipated to minimize an appropriate grand canonical free energy; we make this notion…
