Title: Control of social dynamics systems and mean-field limits.

Abstract: The term "social dynamics" indicates large groups of autonomous agents with simple interaction rules dictated by social reasons. The dynamics can be modeled at microscopic level representing the interactions by an appropriate functional. The mean-field limit gives rise to Boltzmann-type or Vlasov-Poisson type equations. We consider control problems at microscopic and macroscopic level and the relationships among them.
