Abstract

The goal of this paper is to describe the various kinetic equations which arise from scaling limits of interacting particle systems. We provide a formalism which allows us to determine the kinetic equation for a given interaction potential and scaling limit. Our focus in this paper is on particle systems with long-range interactions. The derivation here is formal, but it provides an interpretation of particle systems as the motion of a particle in a random force field with a friction term which is due to the interaction with the surrounding particles. Some of the technical details of this method are discussed in the companion paper [50].
