## Post-edited  Around a Fokker-Planck equation modeling neuronal networks Salort, Delphine (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

In this talk, I will focus on a Fokker-Planck equation modeling interacting neurons in a network where each neuron is governed by an Integrate and Fire dynamic type. When the network is excitatory, neurons that discharge, instantaneously increased the membrane potential of the neurons of the network with a speed which is proportional to the amplitude of the global activity of the network. The self-excitable nature of these neurons in the case of excitatory networks leads to phenomena of blow-up, once the proportion of neurons that are close to their action potential is too high. In this talk, we are interested in understanding the regimes where solutions globally exist. By new methods of entropy and upper-solution, we give criteria where the phenomena of blow-up can not appear and specify, in some cases, the asymptotic behavior of the solution.

## Post-edited  Large-time behavior in (hypo)coercive ODE-systems and kinetic models Arnold, Anton (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

In this talk we discuss the convergence to equilibrium in conservative-dissipative ODE-systems, kinetic relaxation models (of BGK-type), and Fokker-Planck equation. This will include symmetric, non-symmetric and hypocoercive evolution equations. A main focus will be on deriving sharp decay rates.
We shall start with hypocoercivity in ODE systems, with the ”hypocoercivity index” characterizing its structural complexity.
BGK equations are kinetic transport equations with a relaxation operator that drives the phase space distribution towards the spatially local equilibrium, a Gaussian with the same macroscopic parameters. Due to the absence of dissipation w.r.t. the spatial direction, convergence to the global equilibrium is only possible thanks to the transport term that mixes various positions. Hence, such models are hypocoercive.
We shall prove exponential convergence towards the equilibrium with explicit rates for several linear, space periodic BGK-models in dimension 1 and 2. Their BGK-operators differ by the number of conserved macroscopic quantities (like mass, momentum, energy), and hence their hypocoercivity index. Our discussion includes also discrete velocity models, and the local exponential stability of a nonlinear BGK-model.
The third part of the talk is concerned with the entropy method for (non)symmetric Fokker-Planck equations, which is a powerful tool to analyze the rate of convergence to the equilibrium (in relative entropy and hence in L1). The essence of the method is to first derive a differential inequality between the first and second time derivative of the relative entropy, and then between the entropy dissipation and the entropy. For hypocoercive Fokker-Planck equations, i.e. degenerate parabolic equations (with drift terms that are linear in the spatial variable) we modify the classical entropy method by introducing an auxiliary functional (of entropy dissipation type) to prove exponential decay of the solution towards the steady state in relative entropy. The obtained rate is indeed sharp (both for the logarithmic and quadratic entropy). Finally, we extend the method to the kinetic Fokker-Planck equation (with nonquadratic potential).

## Post-edited  Numerical methods for mean field games - Lecture 2: Monotone finite difference schemes Achdou, Yves (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

Recently, an important research activity on mean field games (MFGs for short) has been initiated by the pioneering works of Lasry and Lions: it aims at studying the asymptotic behavior of stochastic differential games (Nash equilibria) as the number $n$ of agents tends to infinity. The field is now rapidly growing in several directions, including stochastic optimal control, analysis of PDEs, calculus of variations, numerical analysis and computing, and the potential applications to economics and social sciences are numerous.
In the limit when $n \to +\infty$, a given agent feels the presence of the others through the statistical distribution of the states. Assuming that the perturbations of a single agent's strategy does not influence the statistical states distribution, the latter acts as a parameter in the control problem to be solved by each agent. When the dynamics of the agents are independent stochastic processes, MFGs naturally lead to a coupled system of two partial differential equations (PDEs for short), a forward Fokker-Planck equation and a backward Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation.
The latter system of PDEs has closed form solutions in very few cases only. Therefore, numerical simulation are crucial in order to address applications. The present mini-course will be devoted to numerical methods that can be used to approximate the systems of PDEs.
The numerical schemes that will be presented rely basically on monotone approximations of the Hamiltonian and on a suitable weak formulation of the Fokker-Planck equation.
These schemes have several important features:

- The discrete problem has the same structure as the continous one, so existence, energy estimates, and possibly uniqueness can be obtained with the same kind of arguments

- Monotonicity guarantees the stability of the scheme: it is robust in the deterministic limit

- convergence to classical or weak solutions can be proved

Finally, there are particular cases named variational MFGS in which the system of PDEs can be seen as the optimality conditions of some optimal control problem driven by a PDE. In such cases, augmented Lagrangian methods can be used for solving the discrete nonlinear system. The mini-course will be orgamized as follows

1. Introduction to the system of PDEs and its interpretation. Uniqueness of classical solutions.

2. Monotone finite difference schemes

3. Examples of applications

## Multi angle  On the discretization of some nonlinear Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov equations and applications Silva Álvarez, Francisco José (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

In this work, we consider the discretization of some nonlinear Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov equations. The scheme we propose preserves the non-negativity of the solution, conserves the mass and, as the discretization parameters tend to zero, has limit measure-valued trajectories which are shown to solve the equation. This convergence result is proved by assuming only that the coefficients are continuous and satisfy a suitable linear growth property with respect to the space variable. In particular, under these assumptions, we obtain a new proof of existence of solutions for such equations.
We apply our results to several examples, including Mean Field Games systems and variations of the Hughes model for pedestrian dynamics.

## Multi angle  Semiclassical methods for Langevin dynamics at low temperature Laurent, Michel (Auteur de la Conférence) | CIRM (Editeur )

Semiclassical methods have shown to be very efficient to get quantitative description of metastability of Langevin dynamics. In this talk we try to explain the main ideas of this approach in both reversible and non-reversible cases.
