The Boltzmann Equation 
Let us consider D  R3 open, limited and regular, and we consider 
x 2 D and v 2 R3 Then for t 2 [0; T] the Boltzmann Equation is 
@f(x; v; t) 
@t 
+ v  rxf(x; v; t) = Q(f; f) 
f(x; v; 0) = f0(x; v); 
where we interpret f : D  R3  [0;+1) ! R+ as a probability 
density function and where we de
ned the collision operator 
Q(f; f)(x; v; t) = 
Z

Constrained self-organized systems 
We consider problems of collective behavior related to the 
process of alignment, like in opinion consensus dynamics. 3 
Dierently to the classical approach we are interested in such 
problems in a constrained setting. 4 
Mean{
eld control theory has raised lot of interest in recent 
years. 5 The general setting consists in a control problem 
involving a very large number of agents where both the 
evolution of the state and the objective functional of each agent 
are in
uenced by the collective behavior of all other agents. 
Classical examples in socio-economy and biology are given by 
persuading voters to vote for a speci
c candidate, by in
uencing 
buyers towards a given food or asset or by forcing animals to 
follow a speci
c path.

The main feature of the method is that the control is explicitly embedded in the resulting interacting dynamic. Dierent generalizations of the approach are possible: like the application of this control methodology on social networks. A fundamental problem in understanding the physics of this complex systems is the impact of errors, or uncertainty in data as parameters values or initial values. The development of ecient numerical methods for such stochastic models is essential because of our incomplete knowledge of the underlying physics.
