Although the dynamics in the model are continuous, the feedback effect can lead to jump discontinuities in the solutions --- i.e. 'blow-ups'. We prove existence of solutions to the corresponding conditional McKean--Vlasov equation and we show that the pathwise realisation of the common noise can both trigger and prevent blow-ups.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-07-13T15:15:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60H10", "60H15", "60H30", "82C22" ], "keywords": [ "conditional mckean-vlasov problem", "common noise", "corresponding conditional mckean-vlasov equation", "large mean-field systems", "prevent blow-ups" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
