Streszczenie

In this paper a general class of Boltzmann-like bilinear integro-differential systems of equations (GKM, Generalized Kinetic Models) is considered. It is shown that their solutions can be approximated by the solutions of appropriate systems describing the dynamics of individuals undergoing stochastic interactions (at the “microscopic level”). The rate of approximation can be controlled. On the other hand the GKM result in various models known in biomathematics (at the “macroscopic level”) including the “SIR” model, some competitive systems and the Smoluchowski coagulation model.
