Introduction:

Social and economic interactions between an ensemble of agents can be modeled using kinetic equations based on binary interactions in a mean field limit. The advantage of this approach lies in the possibility to derive macroscopic equations for conserved quantities on large time scales, and therefore derive models for consensus, flocking, cooperation or competition on large time scales. Applications include c.f. the evolution of wealth in spatially distributed economies or the formation of low dimensional structures in swarms. This special session will bring together researchers in kinetic theory with backgrounds in different applications. |
