McKean–Vlasov process

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In probability theory, a McKean–Vlasov process is a stochastic process described by a stochastic differential equation where the coefficients of the diffusion depend on the distribution of the solution itself.[1][2] The equations are a model for Vlasov equation and were first studied by Henry McKean in 1966.[3]
