FROM NONLINEAR FOKKER–PLANCK EQUATIONS TO SOLUTIONS OF DISTRIBUTION DEPENDENT SDE

We construct weak solutions to the McKean–Vlasov SDE d X ( t ) = b ( X ( t ) , d L X ( t ) d x ( X ( t ) ) ) d t + σ ( X ( t ) , d L X ( t ) d t ( X ( t ) ) ) d W ( t ) on R d for possibly degenerate diffusion matrices σ with X(0) having a given law, which has a density with respect to Lebesgue meas...

Description
Summary:We construct weak solutions to the McKean–Vlasov SDE d X ( t ) = b ( X ( t ) , d L X ( t ) d x ( X ( t ) ) ) d t + σ ( X ( t ) , d L X ( t ) d t ( X ( t ) ) ) d W ( t ) on R d for possibly degenerate diffusion matrices σ with X(0) having a given law, which has a density with respect to Lebesgue measure, dx. Here, L X(t) denotes the law of X(t). Our approach is to first solve the corresponding non-linear Fokker–Planck equations and then use the well-known superposition principle to obtain weak solutions of the above SDE.
