Description
In the talk I will review stochastic particle approximations of Boltzmann-like equations and present a novel quantitative error analysis. The convergence result is based on a coupling tailored for the collisional dynamics and on Wasserstein concentration inequalities. I will also discuss possible extension to binary Monte Carlo methods for mean-field models. Joint work with Lorenzo Pareschi.
