Uniform-in-time estimates for mean-field type SDEs and applications (2405.04047v3)

Abstract: Via constructing an asymptotic coupling by reflection, in this paper we establish uniform-in-time estimates on probability distances for mean-field type SDEs, where the drift terms under consideration are dissipative merely in the long distance. As applications, we (i) explore the long time probability distance estimate between an SDE and its delay version; (ii) investigate the issue on uniform-in-time propagation of chaos for McKean-Vlasov SDEs, where the drifts might be singular with respect to the spatial variables and need not to be of convolution type; (iii) tackle the discretization error bounds in an infinite-time horizon for stochastic algorithms (e.g. backward/tamed/adaptive Euler-Maruyama schemes as three typical candidates) associated with McKean-Vlasov SDEs.
