Convergence to the viscous porous medium equa-tion and propagation of chaos

Alessio Figalli, Robert Philipowski

We study a sequence of nonlinear stochastic differential equations and show that the distributions of the solutions converge to the solution of the vis-cous porous medium equation with exponent m > 1, generalizing the results of Oelschläger (2001) and Philipowski (2006) which concern the case m = 2. Furthermore we explain how to apply this result to the study of interacting particle systems.
