The nonlocality is given by the inverse of a fractional Laplacian, and the limit equation can be interpreted as a transport equation with a fractional pressure. The proof is based on Oelschl\\\"ager's approach and a priori estimates for the associated diffusion equations, coming from energy-type and entropy inequalities as well as parabolic regularity. An existence analysis of the fractional porous-medium equation is also provided, based on a careful regularization procedure, new variants of fractional Gagliardo--Nirenberg inequalities, and the div-curl lemma. A consequence of the mean-field limit estimates is the propagation of chaos property.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-09-17T15:21:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35K65", "35R11", "60H10", "60H30" ], "keywords": [ "fractional diffusion", "mean-field derivation", "stochastic moderately interacting many-particle systems", "singular riesz potential", "fractional gagliardo-nirenberg inequalities" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
