Title: Leading types of particles in multi-type TASEP

Abstract:

Totally asymmetric simple exclusion process ( =TASEP) in one dimension started from the step initial condition is one of the most studied interacting particle systems. We consider a version of it, in which particles at the beginning are assigned distinct types. We establish the distribution of type of the right-most particle (=leader) after a large time T, as well as several other related observables of the process. We also establish a connection of this process with asymmetric Voter model.

Title: On the convergence of the Euler–Maruyama scheme for McKean–Vlasov SDEs

Abstract:

Building on the backward Kolmogorov PDE formulated on the Wasserstein space, we establish several new results on the approximation error arising from the Euler–Maruyama discretisation of interacting particle systems associated with McKean-Vlasov diffusions. In particular, we provide explicit error estimates at three levels: trajectory, semigroup (on the Wasserstein space), and density. We further derive Gaussian-type bounds for the transition density of the Euler–Maruyama scheme and for its first-order derivative. This talk is based on two works, the first one with Clément Rey (École Polytechnique) and the other one with Xuanye Song (Université Paris Cité).
