We discuss a general class of nonlinear mean-field Fokker-Planck equations [P.H. Chavanis, Phys. Rev. E, 68, 036108 (2003)] and show their applications in different domains of physics, astrophysics and biology. These equations are…

We study the mean-field limit of a model of biological neuron networks based on the so-called stochastic integrate-and-fire (IF) dynamics. Our approach allows to derive a continuous limit for the macroscopic behavior of the system, the…

Mean-field reinforcement learning (MF-RL) scales multi-agent RL to large populations by reducing each agent's dependence on others to a single summary statistic -- the mean action. However, this reduction requires every agent to act at…
