摘要

For a certain class of McKean–Vlasov processes, we introduce proxy processes that substitute the mean-field interaction with self-interaction, employing a weighted occupation measure. Our study encompasses two key achievements. First, we demonstrate the ergodicity of the self-interacting dynamics, under broad conditions, by applying the reflection coupling method. Second, in scenarios where the drifts are negative intrinsic gradients of convex mean-field potential functionals, we use entropy and functional inequalities to demonstrate that the stationary measures of the self-interacting processes approximate the invariant measures of the corresponding McKean–Vlasov processes. As an application, we show how to learn the optimal weights of a two-layer neural network by training a single neuron.
