Abstract
We consider an interacting N-particle system with the vision geometrical constraints and reflected noises, proposed as a model for collective behavior of individuals. We rigorously derive a continuity-type of mean-field equation with discontinuous kernels and the normal reflecting boundary conditions from that stochastic particle system as the number of particles N goes to infinity. More precisely, we provide a quantitative estimate of the convergence in law of the empirical measure associated to the particle system to a probability measure which possesses a density which is a weak solution to the continuity equation. This extends previous results on an interacting particle system with bounded and Lipschitz continuous drift terms and normal reflecting boundary conditions by Sznitman [J. Funct. Anal. 56 (1984) 311-336] to that one with discontinuous kernels.
