The asymptotics of this measure is governed by a deterministic dynamical system and under certain conditions it converges almost surely towards a deterministic measure (see Bena\\\"im, Ledoux, Raimond (2002) and Bena\\\"im, Raimond (2005)). We are interested here in the rate of this convergence. A central limit theorem is proved. In particular, this shows that greater is the interaction repelling faster is the convergence.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-07-31T04:43:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "self-interacting diffusions", "convergence", "central limit theorem", "stochastic differential equation", "compact riemannian manifold" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0907.5468B" } } }
