Statement flagged by 0 users
Reason: First published version. Shows that solutions of the mean-field equation driven by the simplex-projected drift remain in the probability simplex, so that the equation is genuinely an equation for a population state.

Statement

Let (β0,β1)(\beta_0,\beta_1) be an affine-controlled transition-rate family on ll states with control set ARm\mathcal{A}\subseteq\mathbb{R}^m, let β\beta be its projected extension with rate bound BB, aggregate state drift bb and projected drift b^\hat{b}, let Δl\Delta^l be the probability simplex, and let T>0T>0 be a real number.

Let A:[0,T]RmA:[0,T]\to\mathbb{R}^m be a map whose components are measurable with respect to the trace Borel σ\sigma-algebra on [0,T][0,T] and the Borel σ\sigma-algebra on the real line, and let x:[0,T]Rlx:[0,T]\to\mathbb{R}^l be a continuous map with x0Δlx_0\in\Delta^l such that

xtγ=x0γ+[0,t]b^γ(xs,As)dsfor all t[0,T] and all γ{1,,l}.x^\gamma_t=x^\gamma_0+\int_{[0,t]}\hat{b}^\gamma(x_s,A_s)\,ds\qquad\text{for all }t\in[0,T]\text{ and all }\gamma\in\{1,\dots,l\} .

The integrands here are measurable and bounded, so the Lebesgue integrals exist; this is verified in the proof.

Then xtΔlx_t\in\Delta^l for every t[0,T]t\in[0,T], and consequently b^(xt,At)=b(xt,At)\hat{b}(x_t,A_t)=b(x_t,A_t) for every t[0,T]t\in[0,T].
