We prove a law of large numbers and a functional central limit theorem for the empirical density of a Marcus-Lushnikov model. The limiting density turns out to be the solution of a Smoluchowski equation, and the fluctuations around this limit are shown to be described by an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process with drift term given by the linearization of the Smoluchowski operator.
We derive a quantitative version of the hydrodynamic limit for an interacting particle system inspired by integrate-and-fire neuron models. More precisely, we show that the $L^2$-speed of convergence of the empirical density of states in a generalized contact process defined over a $d$-dimensional torus of size $n$ is of the optimal order $\mathcal O(n^{d/2})$. In addition, we show that the typical fluctuations around the aforementioned hydrodynamic limit are Gaussian, and governed by a inhomogeneous stochastic linear equation.
