We investigate the implementation of a new stochastic Kuramoto-Vicsek-type model for global optimization of nonconvex functions on the sphere. This model belongs to the class of Consensus-Based Optimization. In fact, particles move on the…
A stochastic approach to the (generic) mean-field limit in Bose-Einstein Condensation is described and the convergence of the ground state energy as well as of its components are established. For the one-particle process on the path space a…
In this paper we consider a mean field optimal control problem with an aggregation-diffusion constraint, where agents interact through a potential, in the presence of a Gaussian noise term. Our analysis focuses on a PDE system coupling a…
The mean-field approximations of many-boson dynamics are known to be effective in many physical relevant situations. The mathematical justifications of such approximations rely generally on specific considerations which depend too much on…
We develop a mean-field approach for multicomponent stochastic spatially extended systems and use it to obtain a multivariate nonlinear self-consistent Fokker-Planck equation defining the probability density of the state of the system,…
In this note, we consider generalizations of the Cucker-Smale dynamical system and we derive rigorously in Wasserstein's type topologies the mean-field limit (and propagation of chaos) to the Vlasov-type equation introduced in [12].Unlike…
In this paper, we focus on finding the global minimizer of a general unconstrained nonsmooth nonconvex optimization problem. Taking advantage of the smoothing method and the consensus-based optimization (CBO) method, we propose a novel…
This paper generalizes an important result from the PAC-Bayesian literature for binary classification to the case of ensemble methods for structured outputs. We prove a generic version of the \Cbound, an upper bound over the risk of models…
The mean-field stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE) corresponding to a mean-field super-Brownian motion (sBm) is obtained and studied. In this mean-field sBm, the branching-particle lifetime is allowed to depend upon the…
We study the mean field limit of one-particle reduced density matrices, for a bosonic system in an initial state with a fixed number of particles, only a fraction of which occupies the same state, and for linear combinations of such states.…
We address an optimization problem where the cost function is the expectation of a random mapping. To tackle the problem two approaches based on the approximation of the objective function by consensus-based particle optimization methods on…
In this work, we systematically investigate mean field games and mean field type control problems with multiple populations using a coupled system of forward-backward stochastic differential equations of McKean-Vlasov type stemming from…
In this chapter we give an overview of the consensus-based global optimization algorithm and its recent variants. We recall the formulation and analytical results of the original model, then we discuss variants using component-wise…
Mean-field Langevin dynamics (MFLD) is an optimization method derived by taking the mean-field limit of noisy gradient descent for two-layer neural networks in the mean-field regime. Recently, the propagation of chaos (PoC) for MFLD has…
We consider a class of extended mean field games with common noises, where there exists a strictly terminal constraint. We solve the problem by reducing it to an unconstrained control problem by adding a penalized term in the cost…
We study a family of McKean-Vlasov (mean-field) type ergodic optimal control problems with linear control, and quadratic dependence on control of the cost function. For this class of problems we establish existence and uniqueness of an…
Continuous-time Bayesian networks is a natural structured representation language for multicomponent stochastic processes that evolve continuously over time. Despite the compact representation, inference in such models is intractable even…
We rigorously show the mean-field limit for a large class of swarming individual based models with local sharp sensitivity regions. For instance, these models include nonlocal repulsive-attractive forces locally averaged over sharp vision…
A self-interacting dynamics that mimics the standard Consensus-Based Optimization (CBO) model is introduced. This single-particle dynamics is shown to converge to a unique invariant measure that approximates the global minimum of a given…
We study the mean field limit of a rank-based model with common noise, which arises as an extension to models for the market capitalization of firms in stochastic portfolio theory. We show that, under certain conditions on the drift and…
