In this study, we specifically investigate particle systems modeled by SDEs, wherein the mean field limit converges to a Vlasov-Fokker-Planck-type equation. Departing from conventional approaches in stochastic analysis, we explore the network connectivity between particles using diagraph measures (DGMs). DGMs are one possible tool to capture sparse, intermediate and dense network/graph interactions in the mean-field thereby going beyond more classical approaches such as graphons. Since the main goal is to capture large classes of mean-field limits, we set up our approach using measure-theoretic arguments and combine them with suitable moment estimates to ensure approximation results for the mean-field.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-03-29T17:53:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "stochastic interacting particles", "mean-field limits", "digraph measures", "mean field limit converges", "particle systems" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
