Propagation of chaos and effective equations in kinetic theory: a brief survey

Mario Pulvirenti and Sergio Simonella

Vol. 4 (2016), No. 3-4, 255–274
DOI: 10.2140/memocs.2016.4.255
Abstract

We review some historical highlights leading to the modern perspective on the concept of chaos from the point of view of kinetic theory. We focus in particular on the role played by the propagation of chaos in the mathematical derivation of effective equations.
