Full textThis thesis deals with the study of optimal control of McKean-Vlasov dynamics and its applications in mathematical finance. This thesis contains two parts. In the first part, we develop the dynamic programming (DP) method for solving McKean-Vlasov control problem. Using suitable admissible controls, we propose to reformulate the value function of the problem with the law (resp. conditional law) of the controlled state process as sole state variable and get the flow property of the law (resp. conditional law) of the process, which allow us to derive in its general form the Bellman programming principle. Then by relying on the notion of differentiability with respect to probability measures introduced by P.L. Lions [Lio12], and Itô’s formula along measure-valued processes, we obtain the corresponding Bellman equation. At last we show the viscosity property and uniqueness of the value function to the Bellman equation. In the first chapter, we summarize some useful results of differential calculus and stochastic analysis on the Wasserstein space. In the second chapter, we consider the optimal control of nonlinear stochastic dynamical systems in discrete time of McKean-Vlasov type. The third chapter focuses on the stochastic optimal control problem of McKean-Vlasov SDEs without common noise in continuous time where the coefficients may depend upon the joint law of the state and control. In the last chapter, we are interested in the optimal control of stochastic McKean-Vlasov dynamics in the presence of common noise in continuous time.In the second part, we propose a robust portfolio selection model, which takes into account ambiguity about both expected rate of return and correlation matrix of multiply assets, in a continuous-time mean-variance setting. This problem is formulated as a mean-field type differential game. Then we derive a separation principle for the associated problem. Our explicit results provide an explanation to under-diversification, as documented in empirical studies

Full textIn this thesis, we are interested in theoretical aspects related to a new class of stochastic differential equations referred as Lagrangian stochastic models. These models have been introduced to model the properties of particles issued from turbulent flows. Motivated by a recent application of the Lagrangien models to the context of downscaling methods for weather forecasting, we also consider the introduction of boundary conditions in the dynamics. In the frame of nonlinear McKean equations, the Lagrangian stochastic models provide a particular case of non-linear dynamics due to the presence ion the coefficients of conditional distribution. For simplified cases, we establish a well-posedness result and particle approximations. In concern of boundary conditions, we construct a confined stochastic system within general domain for the prototypic “mean no-permeability” condition. In the case where the confinement domain is the hyper plane, we obtain existence and uniqueness results for the considered dynamics, and prove the accuracy of our model. For more general domains, we study the conditional McKean-Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation satisfied by the law of the systems. We develop the notions of super- and sub-Maxwellians solutions, ensuring the existence of Gaussian bounds for the solution of the equation

Full textWe consider Mc Kean-Vlasov stochastic differential equations (SDEs), which are SDEs where the drift and diffusion coefficients depend not only on the state of the unknown process but also on its probability distribution. These SDEs called also mean- field SDEs were first studied in statistical physics and represent in some sense the average behavior of an infinite number of particles. Recently there has been a renewed interest for this kind of equations in the context of mean-field game theory. Since the pioneering papers by P.L. Lions and J.M. Lasry, mean-field games and mean-field control theory has raised a lot of interest, motivated by applications to various fields such as game theory, mathematical finance, communications networks and management of oil resources. In this thesis, we studied questions of stability with respect to initial data, coefficients and driving processes of Mc Kean-Vlasov equations. Generic properties for this type of SDEs, such as existence and uniqueness, stability with respect to parameters, have been investigated. In control theory, our attention were focused on existence, approximation of relaxed controls for controlled Mc Kean-Vlasov SDEs

Full textThis thesis contains two parts. The first part addresses two limit theorems related to optimal quantization. The first limit theorem is the characterization of the convergence in the Wasserstein distance of probability measures by the pointwise convergence of Lp-quantization error functions on Rd and on a separable Hilbert space. The second limit theorem is the convergence rate of the optimal quantizer and the clustering performance for a probability measure sequence (μn)n∈N∗ on Rd converging in the Wasserstein distance, especially when (μn)n∈N∗ are the empirical measures with finite second moment but possibly unbounded support. The second part of this manuscript is devoted to the approximation and the simulation of the McKean-Vlasov equation, including several quantization based schemes and a hybrid particle-quantization scheme. We first give a proof of the existence and uniqueness of a strong solution of the McKean- Vlasov equation dXt = b(t, Xt, μt)dt + σ(t, Xt, μt)dBt under the Lipschitz coefficient condition by using Feyel’s method (see Bouleau (1988)[Section 7]). Then, we establish the convergence rate of the “theoretical” Euler scheme and as an application, we establish functional convex order results for scaled McKean-Vlasov equations with an affine drift. In the last chapter, we prove the convergence rate of the particle method, several quantization based schemes and the hybrid scheme. Finally, we simulate two examples: the Burger’s equation (Bossy and Talay (1997)) in one dimensional setting and the Network of FitzHugh-Nagumo neurons (Baladron et al. (2012)) in dimension 3

Full textIn this thesis we propose a numerical approximation for the equilibrium measure of a McKean Vlasov stochastic differential equation (SDE), when the drift coefficient is given by a function with ergodic properties, which is perturbed by a Lipschitzian nonlinear interaction function. We establish a theorem of existence and uniqueness of the equilibrium measure, as well the exponential convergence rate to this equilibrium. We apply the method based on the obtention of Wasserstein contractions using the random coupling variables, as suggested by Cattiaux-Gullin-Malrieu (2006) for the convex potential drift case. After, using the particle system, the chaos propagation property and Euler’s scheme to approximate the SDE, we estimate numerically the integral of every Lipschit function w. R. T. The measure at fixed time, with a time-uniform estimation error. Then, using this numerical estimation we approximate the integral w. R. T. The equilibrium measure. Finally, in the one-dimensional case, we provide numerical estimations for the density and the cumulative distribution function of the equilibrium measure. We use the algorithm proposed by Bossy-Talay (1996) and obtain the optimal rate convergence of the approximation in different norms

On y a fouillé des parties ou l'ensemble de 23 maisons longues, plusieurs palissades, une tranchée, deux huttes à sudation et de nombreux autres vestiges ayant une portée sociale. Aucun autre site Iroquoïen du Saint-Laurent n'a donné lieu à des fouilles aussi extensives que celui de Maynard-McKeown ; c'est aussi le seul à fournir des preuves d'échanges commerciaux avec des Européens. De plus, il s'agit de l'un des seuls sites qui comporte d'importantes données contextuelles et que l'on puisse attribuer à cette confédération de tribus. Ces données permettent maintenant d'évaluer des hypothèses au sujet du comportement ancien de cette population dont la culture s'est éteinte. Ainsi, selon des sources historiques et ethnographiques, la cosmologie iroquoïenne aurait été axée sur la précarité des récoltes et de la vie humaine, ainsi que les stratégies pouvant contrer cette précarité au bénéfice de la communauté. Ces efforts étaient exprimés à travers des dualités perçues comme complémentaires et donc positifs pour la société, telles que le masculin et le féminin, la destruction et la création, la chasse et l'horticulture, et les influences venant de l'intérieur et de l'extérieur de la société. Cette reconstruction de la cosmologie iroquoïenne est enrichie par l'examen de ses vestiges matériels et par des données sur la disposition du peuplement.

Full textThis thesis concerns McKean Stochastic Differential Equations (SDEs) to representpossibly non-linear Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). Those depend not onlyon the time and position of a given particle, but also on its probability law. In particular, we treat the unusual case of Fokker-Planck type PDEs with prescribed final data. We discuss existence and uniqueness for those equations and provide a probabilistic representation in the form of McKean type equation, whose unique solution corresponds to the time-reversal dynamics of a diffusion process.We introduce the notion of fully backward representation of a semilinear PDE: thatconsists in fact in the coupling of a classical Backward SDE with an underlying processevolving backwardly in time. We also discuss an application to the representationof Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman Equation (HJB) in stochastic control. Based on this, we propose a Monte-Carlo algorithm to solve some control problems which has advantages in terms of computational efficiency and memory whencompared to traditional forward-backward approaches. We apply this method in the context of demand side management problems occurring in power systems. Finally, we survey the use of generalized McKean SDEs to represent non-linear and non-conservative extensions of Fokker-Planck type PDEs

Full textThis thesis is dedicated to the theoretical and numerical study of two problems which are nonlinear in the sense of McKean in finance. In the first part, we study the calibration of a local and stochastic volatility model taking into account the prices of European vanilla options observed in the market. This problem can be rewritten as a stochastic differential equation (SDE) nonlinear in the sense of McKean, due to the presence in the diffusion coefficient of a conditional expectation of the stochastic volatility factor computed w.r.t. the solution to the SDE. We obtain existence in the particular case where the stochastic volatility factor is a jump process with a finite number of states. Moreover, we obtain weak convergence at order 1 for the Euler scheme discretizing in time the SDE nonlinear in the sense of McKean for general stochastic volatility factors. In the industry, Guyon and Henry Labordere proposed in [JGPHL] an efficient calibration procedure which consists in approximating the conditional expectation using a kernel estimator such as the Nadaraya-Watson one. We also introduce a numerical half-step scheme and study the the associated particle system that we compare with the algorithm presented in [JGPHL]. In the second part of the thesis, we tackle the pricing of derivatives with initial margin requirements, a recent problem that appeared along with new regulation since the 2008 financial crisis. This problem can be modelled by an anticipative backward stochastic differential equation (BSDE) with dependence in the law of the solution in the driver. We show that the equation is well posed and propose an approximation of its solution by standard linear BSDEs when the liquidation duration in case of default is small. Finally, we show that the computation of the solutions to the standard BSDEs can be improved thanks to the multilevel Monte Carlo technique introduced by Giles in [G]

Full textMemoria para optar al título de Ingeniero Civil Matemático
En este trabajo de tesis se presenta un estudio sobre la veracidad de la conjetura no local de Lazer-Mckenna para un problema de tipo Ambrosetti-Prodi \begin{equation}\label{ProblemaPrincipal} \begin{cases} (-\Delta)^s = g(u)-\sigma\varphi_1 & \text{ en } \O\\ u=0 & \text{ en } \R^N\setminus \O, \end{cases}\end{equation} donde $\O$ es un subconjunto de $\R^N$ con frontera $C^1$, $s\in(0,1)$, $\varphi_1$ es la primera función propia del laplaciano fraccionario $(-\Delta)^s$ con condición de borde Dirichlet, $\sigma$ es un parámetro real que tiende a infinito y $g(u)=|u|^p$, con $p\in(1,\frac{N-m+1+2s}{N-m+1-2s})$ para $m\in \N$ a definir más adelante y es super-crítico con respecto a $N$. Además $\O$ cumple una condición de simetría parcial que será expuesta más adelante. Más en concreto, la conjetura de Lazer-McKenna predice la existencia de un número no acotado de soluciones a medida que $\sigma$ crece a infinito. A pesar de que la conjetura fue planteada en 1981, solo hasta inicios del siglo XXI se produjeron resultados con la identificación del caso $N$-dimensional y subcrítico como un problema de límites singulares. Este trabajo prueba la veracidad de la conjetura para \eqref{ProblemaPrincipal}. Se probó en este trabajo la existencia de una familia de soluciones indexada por un parámetro natural que presentan concentración en una esfera $m-1$ dimensional cerca de máximos locales de $\varphi_1$. A fin de lograr este propuesto se usó el método Lyapunov-Schmidt, el cual consiste en buscar soluciones de la forma $U+v$, donde $U$ es una función escogida adecuadamente para lograr las propiedades buscadas. Más en concreto $U$ resulta ser una solución fundamental de \eqref{ProblemaPrincipal} para el cual se conocen además su comportamiento asintótico. $v$ por otro lado es un termino de corrección que por lo general se espera que tienda a cero cuando $s$ crece al infinito. Esto va muy en concordancia con los trabajos de Dancer y Yan en \cite{DY,DY2,DY-Supercritico} y los de Abdellaoui, Dieb y Mahmoudi en \cite{Mahmoudi-Boumediene-Dieb}.

Full textThis thesis is devoted to the theoretical and numerical study of two main subjects in the context of stochastic differential equations (SDEs): mean reflected SDEs with jumps and McKean-Vlasov backward SDEs.The first part of my thesis establishes the propagation of chaos for the mean reflected SDEs with jumps. First, we study the existence and uniqueness of a solution. Then, we develop a numerical scheme based on the particle system. Finally, we obtain the rate of convergence of this scheme.The second part of my thesis studies the McKean-Vlasov backward SDEs. In this case, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a solution for such equations. Then, thanks to the Wiener chaos expansion, we provide a numerical approximation. Moreover, the convergence rate of this approximation is also determined.The third part of my thesis proposes another type of simulation for the McKean-Vlasov backward SDEs. Due to the approximation of Brownian motion by a scaled random walk, we develop a numerical scheme and we get its convergence rate.In addition, a few numerical examples in these three parts are given to illustrate the efficiency of our schemes and their convergence rates stated by the theoretical results

Full textThe aim of this thesis is to study a class of diffusive stochastic processes with values in the space of probability measures on the real line, called Wasserstein space if it is endowed with the Wasserstein metric W2. The following issues are mainly addressed in this work: how can we effectively construct a stochastic process satisfying diffusive properties with values in a space of infinite dimension? is there a form of uniqueness, in a strong or a weak sense, satisfied by some of those processes? do those diffusions own smoothing properties, e.g. regularization by noise of McKean-Vlasov equations or e.g. BismutElworthy integration by parts formulae? Chapter I introduces an alternative construction, by smooth approximations, of the particle system defined by Konarovskyi and von Renesse, hereinafter designed by coalescing model. The coalescing model is a random process with values in the Wasserstein space, following an Itô-like formula on that space and whose short-time deviations are governed by the Wasserstein metric, by analogy with the short-time deviations of the standard Brownian motion governed by the Euclidean metric. The regular approximation constructed in this thesis shares those diffusive properties and is obtained by smoothing the coefficients of the stochastic differential equation satisfied by the coalescing model. The main benefit of this variant is that it satisfies uniqueness results which are still open for the coalescing model. Moreover, up to small modifications of its structure, that smooth diffusion owns regularizing properties: this is precisely the object of study of chapters II to IV. In chapter II, an ill-posed McKean-Vlasov equation is perturbed by one of those smooth versions of the coalescing model, in order to restore uniqueness. A connection is made with recent results (Jourdain, Mishura-Veretennikov, Chaudru de Raynal-Frikha, Lacker, Röckner-Zhang) where uniqueness of a solution is proved when the noise is finite dimensional and the drift coefficient is Lipschitz-continuous in total variation distance in its measure argument. In our case, the diffusion on the Wasserstein space allows to mollify the velocity field in its measure argument and so to handle with drift functions having low regularity in both space and measure variables. Lastly, chapters III and IV are dedicated to the study, for a diffusion defined on the Wasserstein space of the circle, of the smoothing properties of the associated semi-group. Applying in chapter III the differential calculus on the Wasserstein space introduced by Lions, a Bismut-Elworthy inequality is obtained, controlling the gradient of the semi-group at those points of the space of probability measures that have a sufficiently smooth density. In chapter IV, a better explosion rate when time tends to zero is established under additional regularity conditions. This leads to a priori estimates for a PDE defined on the Wasserstein space and governed by the diffusion on the torus mentioned above, in the homogeneous case (chapter III) and in the case of a non-trivial source term (chapter IV)

Full textL’argomento di questa tesi sono i sistemi di particelle con interazione a campo medio e i processi nonlineari ottenuti come limiti di essi. Il lavoro è suddiviso in tre parti, in cui vengono analizzati modelli caratterizzati da tre diversi meccanismi di interazione. Nella prima parte ci occupiamo di un’interazione tramite salti simultanei, che prende spunto da alcuni modelli apparsi recentemente in neuroscienze, dove gli autori trattano sistemi di neuroni in comunicazione l’uno con l’altro. Con l’obiettivo di generalizzare questo tipo di modelli consideriamo un sistema di diffusioni con salti che interagiscono tra loro attraverso la componente discontinua: ogni processo compie un salto principale con una certa frequenza e, contemporaneamente, forza tutte le altre particelle a compiere anch’esse un salto che però è detto salto collaterale, in quanto viene riscalato rispetto alla taglia del sistema. Considerando diverse ipotesi sui coefficienti, ci concentriamo sulla propagazione del caos traiettoriale e sulla dimostrazione di esistenza e unicità delle soluzioni per la corrispondente SDE nonlineare. Nella seconda parte della tesi ci occupiamo di un’interazione di tipo asimmetrico. Definiamo un sistema dove ogni particella si muove secondo una passeggiata aleatoria sui naturali, riflessa in zero e con un eventuale drift verso destra. In aggiunte c’è un’interazione asimmetrica, nel senso che ogni particella viene spinta a compiere movimenti verso sinistra sotto l’influenza solo delle particelle che si trovano alla sua sinistra. Ci chiediamo come questo sistema, che in assenza di interazione è transiente, possa diventare ergodico a seconda della forza dell’interazione e studiamo i parametri critici sia nel sistema ad N particelle che nel suo limite termodinamico. In particolare sfruttiamo risultati esistenti su diffusioni che interagiscono attraverso la funzione cumulativa empirica per evidenziare le differenze date dalla dinamica discreta. Nella terza parte ci concentri- amo su una dinamica di Langevin per il modello di Curie-Weiss generalizzato alla quale applichiamo un termine di dissipazione. Questo approccio è stato precedentemente usato per rompere la reversibilità nel modello di Curie-Weiss classico ed è stato dimostrato che, in quel caso, il sistema limite ammette una soluzione periodica. Il nostro lavoro conferma l’emergenza di comportamenti periodici anche nel caso del Curie-Weiss generalizzato. In particolare, possiamo dimostrare che un’accurata scelta della funzione di interazione nel modello di partenza è tale da dare luogo ad un sistema limite in cui coesistono molteplici soluzioni periodiche stabili.

Full textThis thesis is dedicated to the theoretical and numerical study of the weak error for time and particle discretizations of some Stochastic Differential Equations non linear in the sense of McKean. In the first part, we address the weak error analysis for the time discretization of standard SDEs. More specifically, we study the convergence in total variation of the Euler-Maruyama scheme applied to d-dimensional SDEs with additive noise and a measurable drift coefficient. We prove weak convergence with order 1/2 when assuming boundedness on the drift coefficient. By adding more regularity to the drift, namely the drift has a spatial divergence in the sense of distributions with [rho]-th power integrable with respect to the Lebesgue measure in space uniformly in time for some [rho] superior or egal to d, the order of convergence at the terminal time improves to 1 up to some logarithmic factor. In dimension d=1, this result is preserved when the spatial derivative of the drift is a measure in space with total mass bounded uniformly in time. In the second part of the thesis, we analyze the weak error for both time and particle discretizations of two classes of nonlinear SDEs in the sense of McKean. The first class consists in multi-dimensional SDEs with regular drift and diffusion coefficients in which the dependence in law intervenes through moments. The second class consists in one-dimensional SDEs with a constant diffusion coefficient and a singular drift coefficient where the dependence in law intervenes through the cumulative distribution function. We approximate the SDEs by the Euler-Maruyama schemes of the associated particle systems and obtain for both classes a weak order of convergence equal to 1 in time and particles. We also prove, for the second class, a trajectorial propagation of chaos result with optimal order 1/2 in particles as well as a strong order of convergence equal to 1 in time and 1/2 in particles. All our theoretical results are illustrated by numerical experiments

Full textWe study the long time behavior of a McKean-Vlasov stochastic differential equation (SDE), driven by a Poisson measure. In neuroscience, this SDE models the dynamics of the membrane potential of a typical neuron in a large network. The model can be derived by considering a finite network of generalized Integrate-And-Fire neurons and by taking the limit where the number of neurons goes to infinity. Hence the McKean-Vlasov SDE is a mean-field model of spiking neurons.We study existence and uniqueness of the solution this McKean-Vlasov SDE and describe its invariant probability measures. For small enough interaction parameter J, we prove uniqueness and global stability of the invariant measure. For J arbitrary large however, the invariant measures may not be unique. We give a sufficient condition ensuring the local stability of such a given invariant probability measure. Our criterion involves the location of the zeros of an explicit holomorphic function associated to the considered stationary solution. When all the zeros have negative real part, we prove that stability holds. We then give sufficient general conditions ensuring the existence of periodic solutions through a Hopf bifurcation: at some critical interaction parameter J0, the invariant probability losses its stability and periodic solutions appear for J close to J0. To obtain these results, we combine probabilistic and deterministic methods. In particular, a key tool in this analysis is a nonlinear Volterra Integral equation satisfied by the synaptic current.Finally, we illustrate these results with examples which are tractable analytically. Additionally, we give numerical methods to approximate the solution of the mean-field equation and to predict numerically the bifurcations

Full textThe standard d-dimensional parabolic--parabolic Keller--Segel model for chemotaxis describes the time evolution of the density of a cell population and of the concentration of a chemical attractant. This thesis is devoted to the study of the parabolic--parabolic Keller-Segel equations using probabilistic methods. To this aim, we give rise to a non linear stochastic differential equation of McKean-Vlasov type whose drift involves all the past of one dimensional time marginal distributions of the process in a singular way. These marginal distributions coupled with a suitable transformation of them are our probabilistic interpretation of a solution to the Keller Segel model. In terms of approximations by particle systems, an interesting and, to the best of our knowledge, new and challenging difficulty arises: each particle interacts with all the past of the other ones by means of a highly singular space-time kernel. In the one-dimensional case, we prove that the parabolic-parabolic Keller-Segel system in the whole Euclidean space and the corresponding McKean-Vlasov stochastic differential equation are well-posed in well chosen space of solutions for any values of the parameters of the model. Then, we prove the well-posedness of the corresponding singularly interacting and non-Markovian stochastic particle system. Furthermore, we establish its propagation of chaos towards a unique mean-field limit whose time marginal distributions solve the one-dimensional parabolic-parabolic Keller-Segel model. In the two-dimensional case there exists a possibility of a blow-up in finite time for the Keller-Segel system if some parameters of the model are large. Indeed, we prove the well-posedness of the mean field limit under some constraints on the parameters and initial datum. Under these constraints, we prove the well-posedness of the Keller-Segel model in the plane. To obtain this result, we combine PDE analysis and stochastic analysis techniques. Finally, we propose a fully probabilistic numerical method for approximating the two-dimensional Keller-Segel model and survey our main numerical results

Full textIn this thesis, we are studying severa! stochastic algorithms with different purposes and this is why we will start this manuscript by giving historicals results to define the framework of our work. Then, we will study a bandit algorithm due to the work of Narendra and Shapiro whose objectif was to determine among a choice of severa! sources which one is the most profitable without spending too much times on the wrong orres. Our goal is to understand the weakness of this algorithm in order to propose an optimal procedure for a quantity measuring the performance of a bandit algorithm, the regret. In our results, we will propose an algorithm called NS over-penalized which allows to obtain a minimax regret bound. A second work will be to understand the convergence in law of this process. The particularity of the algorith is that it converges in law toward a non-diffusive process which makes the study more intricate than the standard case. We will use coupling techniques to study this process and propose rates of convergence. The second work of this thesis falls in the scope of optimization of a function using a stochastic algorithm. We will study a stochastic version of the so-called heavy bali method with friction. The particularity of the algorithm is that its dynamics is based on the ali past of the trajectory. The procedure relies on a memory term which dictates the behavior of the procedure by the form it takes. In our framework, two types of memory will investigated : polynomial and exponential. We will start with general convergence results in the non-convex case. In the case of strongly convex functions, we will provide upper-bounds for the rate of convergence. Finally, a convergence in law result is given in the case of exponential memory. The third part is about the McKean-Vlasov equations which were first introduced by Anatoly Vlasov and first studied by Henry McKean in order to mode! the distribution function of plasma. Our objective is to propose a stochastic algorithm to approach the invariant distribution of the McKean Vlasov equation. Methods in the case of diffusion processes (and sorne more general pro cesses) are known but the particularity of McKean Vlasov process is that it is strongly non-linear. Thus, we will have to develop an alternative approach. We will introduce the notion of asymptotic pseudotrajectory in odrer to get an efficient procedure

Full textThis dissertation is devoted to the long time behaviour of the kinetic Fokker-Planck equation and of the McKean-Vlasov equation. The manuscript is composed of an introduction and six chapters.The kinetic Fokker-Planck equation is a basic example for Villani's hypocoercivity theory which asserts the exponential decay in large time in the absence of coercivity. In his memoir, Villani proved the hypocoercivity for the kinetic Fokker-Planck equation in either weighted H^1, weighted L^2 or entropy.However, a boundedness condition of the Hessian of the Hamiltonian was imposed in the entropic case. We show in Chapter 2 how we can get rid of this assumption by well-chosen multipliers with the help of a weighted logarithmic Sobolev inequality. Such a functional inequality can be obtained by some tractable Lyapunov condition.In Chapter 4, we apply Villani's ideas and some Lyapunov conditions to prove hypocoercivity in weighted H^1 in the case of mean-field interaction with a rate of exponential convergence independent of the number N of particles. For proving this we should prove the Poincaré inequality with a constant independent of N, and rends a dimension dependent boundeness estimate of Villani dimension-free by means of the stronger uniform log-Sobolev inequality and Lyapunov function method. In Chapter 6, we study the hypocoercive contraction in L^2-Wasserstein distance and we recover the optimal rate in the quadratic potential case. The method is based on the temporal derivative of the Wasserstein distance.In Chapter 7, Villani's hypoercivity theorem in weighted H^1 space is extended to weighted H^k spaces by choosing carefully some appropriate mixed terms in the definition of norm of H^k.The McKean-Vlasov equation is a nonlinear nonlocal diffusive equation. It is well-Known that it has a gradient flow structure. However, the known results strongly depend on convexity assumptions. Such assumptions are notably relaxed in Chapter 3 and Chapter 5 where we prove the exponential convergence to equilibrium respectively in free energy and the L^1-Wasserstain distance. Our approach is based on the mean field limit theory. That is, we study the associated system of a large numer of paricles with mean-field interaction and then pass to the limit by propagation of chaos
