We prove that the coefficients of the expansion are, at any time, explicitly computable given the knowledge of the linearization on the one-body meanfield kinetic limit equation. Instead of working directly with the corresponding BBGKY-type hierarchy, we follows a method developed in [22] for the meanfield limit, dealing with error terms analogue to the v-functions used in previous works. As a by-product we get that the rate of convergence to the meanfield limit in 1 N is optimal.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-10-10T14:14:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "mean-field approximation", "one-body meanfield kinetic limit equation", "meanfield limit", "general paradigm containing kac models", "full asymptotic expansion" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
