Propagation of chaos in infinite horizon and numerical stability for stochastic McKean-Vlasov equations

Abstract

This paper focuses on the numerical stability of stochastic McKean-Vlasov equations (SMVEs) via the stochastic particle method. Firstly, the long-time propagation of chaos in the mean-square sense is obtained, and the almost sure propagation in infinite horizon is also proved. Next, when the coefficients satisfy linear growth conditions, the mean-square and almost sure exponential stabilities of the Euler-Maruyama (EM) scheme associated with the corresponding interacting particle system are shown through an ingenious manipulation of empirical measure. Then, for the case that the state variables in drift and diffusion are both superlinear, the mean-square exponential stability of the backward EM scheme for the interacting system is achieved without the particle corruption, which is a novel conclusion. Moreover, under the linear growth condition on the diffusion coefficient, the almost sure stability of the backward EM scheme is studied. Combining these assertions enables the numerical solutions to reproduce the stabilities of the original SMVEs. The examples, including a feedback control problem and a stochastic opinion dynamics model, are provided to demonstrate the importance of theoretical analysis of numerical stability.

Fully spectral scheme for the linear BGK equation on the whole space

In this article, we design a fully spectral method in both space and velocity for a linear inhomogeneous kinetic equation with mass, momentum and energy conservation. We focus on the linear BGK equation with a confinement potential $Φ$, even if the method could be applied to different collision operators. It is based upon the projection on Hermite polynomials in velocity and orthonormal polynomials with respect to the weight $e^{-$Φ$}$ in space. The potential $Φ$ is assumed to be a polynomial. It is, to the author's knowledge, the first scheme which preserves hypocoercive behavior in addition to the conservation laws. These different properties are illustrated numerically on both quadratic and double well potential.

Inverse inequalities for kernel-based approximation on bounded domains and Riemannian manifolds

This paper establishes inverse inequalities for kernel-based approximation spaces defined on bounded Lipschitz domains in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and compact Riemannian manifolds. While inverse inequalities are well-studied for polynomial spaces, their extension to kernel-based trial spaces poses significant challenges. For bounded Lipschitz domains, we extend prior Bernstein inequalities, which only apply to a limited range of Sobolev orders, to the full range of lower and upper orders, and derive Nikolskii inequalities that bound $L_\infty$ norms by $L_2$ norms. For compact Riemannian manifolds, we focus on restricted kernels, which are defined as the restriction of positive definite kernels from the ambient Euclidean space to the manifold, and prove their counterparts.

Error Estimates for Hyperbolic Scaling Limits of Linear Kinetic Models on Networks

This paper studies linear discrete kinetic models on networks and their asymptotic behavior in the small Knudsen number limit. For coupling conditions at an n-edge junction under a symmetric formulation, we introduce a change of variables that reformulates the system into n independent initial-boundary value problems. The asymptotic expansions are then constructed and rigorously justified by deriving an error estimate based on the energy method.
