Abstract
In this paper we study the long-time behaviour of a kinetic formulation of an Elo-type rating model for a large number of interacting players with variable strength. The model results in a non-linear mean-field Fokker-Planck equation and we show the existence of steady states via a Schauder fixed point argument. Our proof relies on the study of a related linear equation using hypocoercivity techniques.
期刊介绍:
KRM publishes high quality papers of original research in the areas of kinetic equations spanning from mathematical theory to numerical analysis, simulations and modelling. It includes studies on models arising from physics, engineering, finance, biology, human and social sciences, together with their related fields such as fluid models, interacting particle systems and quantum systems. A more detailed indication of its scope is given by the subject interests of the members of the Board of Editors. Invited expository articles are also published from time to time.
