A Mean Field Approximation of the Bolker-Pacala Population Model
We approximate the Bolker-Pacala model of population dynamics with the logistic Markov chain and analyze the latter. We find the asymptotics of the degenerated hypergeometric function and use these to prove a local CLT and large deviations result. We also state global limit theorems and obtain asymptotics for the first passage time to the boundary of a large interval.
متن کاملA mean field approach for optimization in discrete time
This paper investigates the limit behavior of Markov decision processes made of independent objects evolving in a common environment, when the number of objects (N) goes to infinity. In the finite horizon case, we show that when the number of objects becomes large, the optimal cost of the system converges to the optimal cost of a discrete time system that is deterministic. Convergence also hold...
متن کاملMean-Field Approximation and Quasi-Equilibrium Reduction of Markov Population Models
Markov Population Model is a commonly used framework to describe stochastic systems. Their exact analysis is unfeasible in most cases because of the state space explosion. Approximations are usually sought, often with the goal of reducing the number of variables. Among them, the mean field limit and the quasi-equilibrium approximations stand out. We view them as techniques that are rooted in in...
متن کاملDiscrete mean field games
In this paper we study a mean field model for discrete time, finite number of states, dynamic games. These models arise in situations that involve a very large number of agents moving from state to state according to certain optimality criteria. The mean field approach for optimal control and differential games (continuous state and time) was introduced by Lasry and Lions [LL06a, LL06b, LL07]. ...
متن کاملAsynchronous and Synchronous Dispersals in Spatially Discrete Population Models
This study is on the role of synchronous and asynchronous dispersals in a discrete-time single-species population model with dispersal between two patches, where predispersal dynamics are compensatory or overcompensatory and dispersal is synchronous or asynchronous or mixed synchronous and asynchronous. It is known that single-species dispersal-linked population models behave as singlespecies s...
