Propagation of chaos: A review of models, methods and applications. I. Models and methods

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>The notion of propagation chaos for large systems interacting particles originates in statistical physics and has recently become a central many areas applied mathematics. The present review describes old new methods as well several important results the field. models considered include McKean-Vlasov diffusion, mean-field jump Boltzmann models. first part this is an introduction to modelling aspects stochastic particle chaos. second presents concrete applications more detailed study some field.</p>
