Mean-field limit for a class of
density-dependent stochastic processes
The mean-field (a.k.a. fluid limit) approach for density-dependent
parallel continuous-time Markov chains is extended to a larger class
of processes where generally-timed transitions are also allowed. The
system is no longer memoryless, and the mean-field
limit is the
solution of a system of coupled delayed differential equations (DDE).
The presentation focuses on the practical aspects of the topic.
Real-life examples include peer-to-peer software update process.
