The present review describes old and new methods as well as several important results in the field. The models considered include the McKean-Vlasov diffusion, the mean-field jump models and the Boltzmann models. The first part of this review is an introduction to modelling aspects of stochastic particle systems and to the notion of propagation of chaos. The second part presents concrete applications and a more detailed study of some of the important models in the field.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-02-23T14:50:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "82C22", "82C40", "35Q70", "65C35", "92-10" ], "keywords": [ "propagation", "stochastic particle systems", "mean-field jump models", "second part", "interacting particles originates" ], "tags": [ "review article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 144, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
