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] It is an example of propagation of chaos, in that it can be obtained as a limit of a mean-field system of interacting particles: as the number of particles tends to infinity, the interactions between any single particle and the rest of the pool will only depend on the particle itself.[4]
