In the nonlinear diffusion framework, stochastic processes of McKean-Vlasov type play an important role. In some cases they correspond to processes attracted by their own probability distribution: the so-called self-stabilizing processes. Such diffusions can be obtained by taking the hydrodymamic limit in a huge system of linear diffusions in interaction. In both cases, for the linear and the nonlinear processes, small-noise asymptotics have been emphasized by specific large deviation phenomenons. The natural question, therefore, is: is it possible to interchange the mean-field limit with the small-noise limit? The aim here is to consider this question by proving that the rate function of the first particle in a mean-field system converges to the rate function of the hydrodynamic limit as the number of particles becomes large.

The Random Batch Method proposed in our previous work [Jin et al., J. Comput. Phys., 400(1), 2020] is not only a numerical method for interacting particle systems and its mean-field limit, but also can be viewed as a model of particle system in which particles interact, at discrete time, with randomly selected mini-batch of particles. In this paper we investigate the mean-field limit of this model as the number of particles $N to infty$. Unlike the classical mean field limit for interacting particle systems where the law of large numbers plays the role and the chaos is propagated to later times, the mean field limit now does not rely on the law of large numbers and chaos is imposed at every discrete time. Despite this, we will not only justify this mean-field limit (discrete in time) but will also show that the limit, as the discrete time interval $tau to 0$, approaches to the solution of a nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation arising as the mean-field limit of the original interacting particle system in Wasserstein distance.
Controlling large particle systems in collective dynamics by a few agents is a subject of high practical importance, e.g., in evacuation dynamics. In this paper we study an instantaneous control approach to steer an interacting particle system into a certain spatial region by repulsive forces from a few external agents, which might be interpreted as shepherd dogs leading sheep to their home. We introduce an appropriate mathematical model and the corresponding optimization problem. In particular, we are interested in the interaction of numerous particles, which can be approximated by a mean-field equation. Due to the high-dimensional phase space this will require a tailored optimization strategy. The arising control problems are solved using adjoint information to compute the descent directions. Numerical results on the microscopic and the macroscopic level indicate the convergence of optimal controls and optimal states in the mean-field limit,i.e., for an increasing number of particles.
We consider moderately interacting particle systems with singular interaction kernel and environmental noise. It is shown that the mollified empirical measures converge in strong norms to the unique (local) solutions of nonlinear Fokker-Planck equations. The approach works for the Biot-Savart and Poisson kernels.
We prove almost sure Euler hydrodynamics for a large class of attractive particle systems on $Z$ starting from an arbitrary initial profile. We generalize earlier works by Seppalainen (1999) and Andjel et al. (2004). Our constructive approach requires new ideas since the subadditive ergodic theorem (central to previous works) is no longer effective in our setting.
We derive a continuum mean-curvature flow as a certain hydrodynamic scaling limit of a class of Glauber+Zero-range particle systems. The Zero-range part moves particles while preserving particle numbers, and the Glauber part governs the creation and annihilation of particles and is set to favor two levels of particle density. When the two parts are simultaneously seen in certain different time-scales, the Zero-range part being diffusively scaled while the Glauber part is speeded up at a lesser rate, a mean-curvature interface flow emerges, with a homogenized `surface tension-mobility parameter reflecting microscopic rates, between the two levels of particle density. We use relative entropy methods, along with a suitable `Boltzmann-Gibbs principle, to show that the random microscopic system may be approximated by a `discretized Allen-Cahn PDE with nonlinear diffusion. In turn, we show the behavior of this `discretized PDE is close to that of a continuum Allen-Cahn equation, whose generation and propagation interface properties we also derive.
