Quantitative estimates of propagation of chaos for multi-species cross-diffusion equations
Abstract
In this paper, we prove the quantitative propagation of chaos results that allow us to derive multi-species cross-diffusion equations from moderately interacting stochastic particle system. The quantitative propagation of chaos result in $L^1$-norm is obtained by the relative entropy method, and the proof is carried out in two steps. In the first step, we quantify the relative entropy between the joint distribution of the particle system and the tensorised solution of the PDE at the intermediate level. In the second step, we establish a rigorous convergence rate to the multi-species cross-diffusion equations by analyzing the $L^2$-distance between the solution of the intermediate-level PDE and that of the limiting PDE. Furthermore, combining the strong $L^1$-convergence for the propagation of chaos with the $L^p$-estimates $(2\le p<\infty)$ for the marginal distribution of multi-species particle system, we derive the corresponding $L^q$-result $(1<q<\infty)$ via interpolation.
