Multi-scale analysis of non-local Fokker-Planck equations

We consider nonlocal Fokker-Planck equations which have recently been introduced to describe the hysteretic behaviour of many-particle storage systems. Using formal asymptotic analysis we identify several parameter regimes and derive effective dynamical models for different types of phase transitions
