Nonlinear McKean-Vlasov diffusions under the weak Hormander condition with quantile-dependent coefficients

Abstract

In this paper, the strong existence and uniqueness for a degenerate finite system of quantile-dependent McKean-Vlasov stochastic differential equations are obtained under a weak Hörmander condition. The approach relies on the apriori bounds for the density of the solution to time inhomogeneous diffusions. The time inhomogeneous Feynman-Fac formula is used to construct a contraction map for this degenerate system.
