Averaging principle for McKean-Vlasov SDEs driven by multiplicative fractional noise with highly oscillatory drift coefficient
Abstract
In this paper, we study averaging principle for a class of McKean-Vlasov stochastic differential equations (SDEs) that contain multiplicative fractional noise with Hurst parameter 1/2 and highly oscillatory drift coefficient. Here the integral corresponding to fractional Brownian motion is the generalized Riemann-Stieltjes integral. Using Khasminskii’s time discretization techniques, we prove that the solution of the original system strongly converges to the solution of averaging system as the times scale gose to zero in the supremum- and Hölder-topologies which are sharpen existing ones in the classical Mckean-Vlasov SDEs framework.

1 Introduction
The present paper focuses on the following McKean-Vlasov stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with highly oscillatory drift coefficient driven by multiplicative fractional noise in related path spaces, namely with supremum- and Hölder-topologies
(1.1) |
where the parameter , is arbitrary and non-random but fixed and the coefficients and are measurable functions and is the law of . Here is the space of probability measures on with finite -th moment which will be introduced in Section 2. is one dimensional fractional Brownian motion (FBM) with Hurst parameter which is a Gaussian centered process with the covariance function
The McKean-Vlasov SDEs, also known as distribution dependent SDEs or mean-field SDEs, whose evolution is determined by both the microcosmic location and the macrocosmic distribution of the particle, see e.g. [16], [22], [3], can better describe many models than classical SDEs as their coefficients depend on the law of the solution. Such kind of stochastic systems (1.1) are of independent interest and appear widely in applications including granular materials dynamics, mean-field games, as well as complex networked systems, see e.g. [2], [19], [14].
Now, we remind the reader what an averaging principle is. Since the highly oscillating component, it is relatively difficult to solve (1.1). The main goal of the averaging principle to find a simplified system which simulates and predicts the evolution of the original system (1.1) over a long time scale by averaging the highly oscillating drift coefficient under some suitable conditions. The history of averaging principle for deterministic systems is long which can be traced back to the result by Krylov, Bogolyubov and Mitropolsky, see e.g. [18], [1]. After that, [17] established an averaging principle for the SDEs driven by Brownian motion (BM). Up to now, there have existed some kind of methods, such as the techniques of time discretization and Poisson equation, the weak convergence method, studing averaging principle, see e.g. [20], [21], [26], [27], [30] for SDEs, and see e.g. [4], [10], [7], [11] for stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs).
In recent years there has been considerable research interest in averaging for Mckean-Vlasov stochastic (partial) differential equations S(P)DEs. [28] established the averaging principle for slow-fast Mckean-Vlasov SDEs by the techniques of time discretization and Poisson equation. [13] investigated the strong convergence rate of averaging principle for slow-fast Mckean-Vlasov SPDEs based on the variational approach and the technique of time discretization. [6] studied averaging principle for distribution dependent SDEs with localized drift using Zvonkin’s transformation and estimates for Kolmogorov equations. [29] obtained the strong convergence without a rate for distribution dependent SDEs with highly oscillating component driven by FBM and standard BM, which requires that the FBM-term should be additive case.
However, the aforementioned references all focused on the Mckean-Vlasov S(P)DEs with addictive noise or multiplicative white noise. Up to now, there are no work concentrating on averaging for Mckean-Vlasov SDEs driven by multiplicative fractional noise. In this work, we aim to close this gap. It is known that the FBMs are not semimartingales. Therefore, the beautiful classical stochastic analysis is not applicable to fractional noises for . It is a non-trivial task to extent the results in the classical stochastic analysis to these multiplicative fractional noises while one can use Wiener integral for the addictive fractional noise because the diffusion term is a dererministic function. Note that the diffusion term of Mckean-Vlasov SDEs in this paper is state variables-dependent, based on Riemann Stieltjes integral framework, we cannot use Gronwall’s lemma or generalized Gronwall’s lemma directly to prove the convergence of to as in [24], [23]. So, we will use the -equivalent Hölder norm (see, Section 4.3 ) to overcome this problem.
From the above motivations, we consider the strong convergence of averaging principle for Mckean-Vlasov SDEs driven by multiplicative fractional noise in the present paper. The problem is solved by the fractional approach and Khasminskii type averaging principle efficiently. Moreover, our averaging result in the supremum- and Hölder-topologies sharpen existing ones in the classical Mckean-Vlasov S(P)DEs framework.
The paper is organized as follows. Section 2 presents some necessary notations and assumptions. Stochastic averaging principles for such McKean-Vlasov SDEs are then established in Section 3. Note that and denote some positive constants which may change from line to line throughout this paper, where is one or more than one parameter and is used to emphasize that the constant depends on the corresponding parameter, for example, depends on and .
2 Preliminaries
In this section, we will recall some basic facts on definitions and properties of the fractional caculus. For more details, we refer to [12] and [25].

3 Assumptions and main result
3.1 Assumptions
To derive a unique solution to (1.1), we first introduce assumptions on the coefficients and such that
-
(H1)
There exists a constant , such that for any , and ,
Moreover, is bounded by a positive constant , i.e.,
-
(H2)
There exist constants and such that for any
Under assumptions (H1) and (H2) above, one can deduce from Theorem 3.3 in [8] that the system (1.1) admits a unique solution via a Lamperti transform.
Lemma 3.1.
Suppose that (H1) and (H2) hold and , then (1.1) has a unique solution .
In order to establish the averaging principle, besides conditions (H1) and (H2), we further assume:
-
(H3)

Remark 3.3.
Noting that
This shows that the averaging condition (H5) is weaker than the following averaging condition
3.2 Main result
Now, we define the averaged equation:

(4.10) |
Note that the norm here is equivalent to the norm in the conclusion. Here is a parameter depending on . To estimate all the terms in the following inequality we have to consider 3 cases. For the first case the right hand side will be absorbed by the left hand side of the inequality when is sufficiently large. The second case includes terms providing estimates like where is a priori determined by but independent of , then we choose fixed so that , sufficiently small. The third case contains terms providing an estimate , which can be made arbitrarily small when is sufficiently large.
Let and divide into intervals depending of size , where is a fixed positive number. For and , where is the integer part of . From (1.1) and (3.1), we have
By Hölder’s inequality, it is easy to obtain
(4.11) |
By elementary inequality, we have
For , by (H1)-(H5), Hölder inequality and Lemma 4.1, we have
We have for , for any . In addition we take the maximum over finitely many elements determined by the fixed number given and . Following (H5), we have for every element under the maximum
(4.17) |
where , as . Thus, we have for sufficiently small and the given
(4.18) |
For , by (H1)-(H5), Hölder inequality and Lemma 4.1 again, we have
where and . For , by (H2), (H3) and the fact implies that , so we have
By (H1)-(H5) and the fact that for , we have
Using (H5) again, the remaining term on the right hand side can be estimated similar to , see (4.17). We have
(4.19) |
For , by (4.11), we have
(4.20) | |||||
(4.21) | |||||
(4.22) | |||||
(4.23) | |||||
(4.24) |

(4.32) |
where Lemma 7.1 in [25] implies that
and by a change of variable , from Lemma 8 in [5] and the fact that , it is easy to see that
where as .
Then, by Lemma 4.1, we have
(4.33) |
In a similar manner than before for the first expression on , we obtain
Thus, we have
(4.34) |
Summing up (4.13), (4.18), (4.19), (4.20) and (4.34) and the fact that (see Lemma 4.7 in Pei et al., 2020), we obtain
Taking large enough, such that , we have
Next, we return to the second supremum on the right-hand side of inequality (4.9), by Cauchy-Schwarz’s inequality, Lemma 4.1 and using Lemma 4.7 in [27] again, we have
Summing above and let , we have
This completes the proof.∎
