[TABLE]

[TABLE]
with the jump size of at time defined by
[TABLE]
Moreover is a -dimensional centered pure jump Lévy process independent of , whose Lévy measure satisfies
[TABLE]
Let denote the Euclidean norm on , and let , be two complete filtered probability spaces satisfying the usual condition. Let and be independent -dimensional Brownian motions defined on and , respectively. We construct the product probability space by setting
[TABLE]
and equipping it with the filtration obtained as the complete, right-continuous augmentation of . An element means with and . Expectations with respect to and are denoted by and , respectively. For , let be independent copies of , with denoting expectation under . We write for the corresponding copies of . Denote by the set of all Borel probability measures on endowed with the topology of weak convergence. For , define
[TABLE]
For , the -Wasserstein distance is given by
[TABLE]
where denotes the set of all couplings of and . It is known that forms a Polish metric space. We denote the Dirac measure concentrated at the origin in . Let be a random variable on measurable with respect to . For any fixed , the mapping
[TABLE]
defines a random variable on , whose distribution is denoted by . Given a random variable on , we define
[TABLE]
which represents the conditional distribution of given . In particular, if the initial condition in (1.1) is assumed to be defined on , then provides a version of the conditional law of given . Henceforth, we shall restrict our attention to initial conditions living on .
The existence and uniqueness theory for strong solutions of McKean-Vlasov SDEs under Lipschitz and linear growth conditions (with respect to both the state variable and the measure) is well-established (see, e.g., [25], [29]). Wang [33] establishes well-posedness via the Picard iteration method, resolving the pathwise intractability in the case of SDEs driven by Brownian motion. In the context of delay McKean-Vlasov SDEs with super-linear drift, Bao et al. [4] propose a Milstein-based antithetic MLMC framework attaining optimal complexity without Lévy area simulation under Brownian noise. Liu et al. [19] establish concentration inequalities, exponential convergence in the Wasserstein metric , and uniform-in-time propagation of chaos for McKean-Vlasov systems via reflection coupling and new cost functions, with applications to multi-well confinement and bounded interaction potentials.
Compared with McKean-Vlasov SDEs driven by Brownian motion, the McKean-Vlasov SDEs driven by Lévy processes have been much less studied. Bao and Wang [5] establish existence, uniqueness, and multiplicity of stationary distributions for McKean-Vlasov SDEs driven by Lévy processes. Song et al. [23] develop large and moderate deviation principles, along with explicit rate functions, for McKean-Vlasov SDEs driven by Lévy processes using a weak-convergence approach. In [21], Jourdain et al. investigate the existence, uniqueness, and particle approximations for McKean-Vlasov SDEs driven by Lévy processes. More recently, Mehri et al. [26] and Neelima et al. [28] address the well-posedness and propagation of chaos results for McKean-Vlasov SDEs with delay driven by Lévy noise. Bao et al. [7] establish strong well-posedness of McKean-Vlasov SDEs driven by Lévy processes under weak monotonicity and coercivity, prove both weak and strong propagation of chaos, and extend the results to systems with common noise.
The McKean-Vlasov SDEs driven by Brownian motion with common noise have been applied to various fields including finance, physics, biology, mean-field games, and machine learning. The fundamental theory of the McKean-Vlasov SDEs with common noise is well established. One can refer to Carmona and Delarue [10], Kumar et al. [22] for the well-posedness and conditional propagation of chaos, Hammersley et al. [20] for the weak well-posedness, Maillet [27], Bao and Wang [6] for the long-time behavior. Yuan et al. [11] design delay feedback control strategies for stabilizing McKean-Vlasov SDEs with common noise, proving the global solution existence and uniqueness. Shao and Wei [30] study the well-posedness and conditional propagation of chaos for McKean-Vlasov SDEs with common noise, establishing explicit convergence rates.
In applications, random jump shocks naturally arise in a variety of systems. For instance, an epidemic outbreak occurs when a contagious disease spreads rapidly through a population due to increased transmission rates. Super-spreader events may cause sudden surges in infection numbers, which can be modelled by a jump component in a diffusion-type dynamics for the infected population. When global mobility is high, localized outbreaks can quickly propagate across regions, resulting in a pandemic, and the epidemic dynamics are then subject to system-wide sources of randomness (e.g., environmental factors, global travel) that impact all communities. Similar large-scale effects appear in economics and finance. In systemic risk modelling, the balance sheet of each bank is influenced not only by its idiosyncratic shocks but also by macroeconomic factors and market-wide events. This can be described by McKean-Vlasov SDEs with common noise and jumps, where the mean-field term captures peer effects and the jump component models sudden losses or liquidity dry-ups; see the interbank lending model studied later. Bistable dynamics with random environment, as in a Ginzburg-Landau type equation, provide a prototype for metastable transitions under heavy-tailed shocks, and will serve as our first test model. In conditional mean-field control problems, agents interact through conditional expectations of their states while being exposed to common noise representing shared information or policy shocks. Linear-quadratic structures then lead to tractable feedback controls and motivate the LQ test models considered in Section 5. These examples motivate the study of McKean-Vlasov SDEs driven by Lévy processes with common noise; see, for instance, [8, 9]. In recent years, significant advances have been achieved for McKean-Vlasov SDEs driven by Lévy processes under common noise, covering topics such as well-posedness, deep learning approaches, optimal stopping problems, optimal and impulse control, as well as stochastic maximum principles; see, among others, [1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 13, 15, 17, 18, 24] for further references.
This paper investigates the infinite time horizon approximation for McKean-Vlasov SDEs driven by Lévy processes with common noise. The primary contribution of this study lies in addressing a research gap by extending previous work to McKean-Vlasov SDE driven by Lévy processes, where the drift and diffusion coefficients are not globally Lipschitz continuous. Tran et al. [32] propose a tamed-adaptive Euler-Maruyama scheme for McKean-Vlasov SDEs driven by Lévy processes with superlinear coefficients, proving strong convergence on finite and infinite horizons. In particular, this study builds upon the results of Tran et al. [32] by introducing the effect of common noise. This factor has not been examined in the context of such SDEs. The incorporation of common noise enhances the model, providing a more realistic framework for situations where noise simultaneously impacts all components, a consideration that has often been neglected in prior research.
The main contributions of this article are reflected in the following three aspects.
Establishing existence, uniqueness, and moment estimates for solutions under non-globally Lipschitz coefficients (assumptions (A1)-(A7)), generalizing results in [22, 28, 31]. 2. 2.
We extend the results of Tran et al. [32] to establish the boundedness of high-order moments of the solutions and demonstrate the propagation of chaos in the presence of common noise. 3. 3.
We apply the theoretical proofs presented in this paper to practical examples and provide corresponding numerical analysis and results.
The remainder of the paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we establish the well-posedness of solutions to McKean-Vlasov SDE driven by Lévy process with common noise, including existence, uniqueness, and second-order moment estimates under non-globally Lipschitz coefficients. In Section 3, we investigate the propagation of chaos for the associated particle systems. In Section 4, we present the corresponding numerical analysis of the McKean-Vlasov SDE driven by Lévy process with common noise. In Section 5, we provide specific examples to conduct numerical simulations.
2 Well-posedness of Solutions
To establish the well-posedness of (1.1), we assume that the drift, diffusion and jump coefficients , , , and the Lévy measure satisfy the following conditions.
(A1) There exists a positive constant such that
[TABLE]
for any and .
(A2) There exist constants and such that
[TABLE]
for any and .
(A3) There exist constants and such that
[TABLE]
for any and .
(A4) There exists an even integer such that
[TABLE]
(A5) There exists a positive constant such that
[TABLE]
for any and .
(A6) For the even integer given in (A4) and the positive constant given in (A5), there exist constants , , and such that
[TABLE]
for any and .
(A7) There exist constants and such that
[TABLE]
for any and .
Remark 2.1**.**
Similar with Tran et al. [32]. It follows from Assumption (A6) that, for the even integer given in (A4) and the positive constant given in (A5), there exist constants , , and such that
[TABLE]
for any , and .
Example 1**.**
To illustrate that the aforementioned hypotheses are valid, we consider the following example: a variant of the Ginzburg-Landau equation. Specifically, consider
[TABLE]
where denotes the conditional distribution of , is its first moment, is a Brownian motion, a common Brownian motion, and a pure-jump Lévy process with Lévy measure . For the jump part we choose a tempered stable Lévy measure on :
[TABLE]
where is determined by the normalization condition ensuring that is a valid Lévy measure, i.e.
[TABLE]
with denoting the Gamma function. Note that is the Gamma function. By setting , we have
[TABLE]
For , we obtain
[TABLE]
Next we verify that the above equation satisfies assumptions (A1)-(A7).
(1) Since , we have
[TABLE]
Moreover,
[TABLE]
Also we have and Thus, we have
[TABLE]
Letting , we show that the Assumption (A1) holds.
(2) Note that
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
For the jump coefficient, use , so
[TABLE]
Hence,
[TABLE]
Using the algebraic identity we have
[TABLE]
Moreover,
[TABLE]
Combining the above bounds gives
[TABLE]
Since , we may choose
[TABLE]
Hence Assumption (A2) holds with these constants.
(3) Due to
[TABLE]
Applying the mean-value theorem: there exists between and such that
[TABLE]
Thus
[TABLE]
This implies that Assumption (A3) holds with .
(4) Note that is the upper incomplete Gamma function. When , we have
[TABLE]
Similarly, due to is the lower incomplete Gamma function. When , we have
[TABLE]
Thus Assumption (A4) holds.
(5) Since for all , it’s easy to see that Assumption (A5) holds.
(6) Since ,
[TABLE]
Next,
[TABLE]
Using and , we have
[TABLE]
Let
[TABLE]
Setting , we obtain
[TABLE]
As , the term , so it is integrable if . As , exponential damping ensures integrability for all . Thus the integral is finite for all and . Hence we may choose
[TABLE]
This proves Assumption (A6).
(7) Note that
[TABLE]
Hence choose and . This verifies Assumption (A7).
Remark 2.2**.**
We point out that assumptions (A1), (A2), (A4), (A6) and (A7) does not hold for an isotropic -stable Lévy measure with index , and the measure In fact
[TABLE]
Using spherical coordinates,
[TABLE]
where is the surface area of the -sphere.
The radial integral is
[TABLE]
For we have , hence the limit as diverges. Thus
[TABLE]
Therefore the isotropic -stable Lévy measure does not admit a finite second moment.
Theorem 2.3**.**
Let assumptions (A1)-(A7) hold. Then, for any random distribution with , there exists a unique cdlg process X taking values in satisfying the McKean-Vlasov SDE (1.1) with initial distribution such that
[TABLE]
where is a positive constant.
Proof.
To facilitate readability, we divide the proof into the following steps.
Constructing Metric Spaces
Let denote the space of cdlg functions on , which equips with the uniform metric
[TABLE]
Then, the space endowed with the distance is a complete space.
For any given and , let be a space consisting of all processes satisfying
- (i)
For almost all , is right-continuous with left limits;
- (ii)
The process is -adapted and satisfies .
Based on the distance on , for each with as above, we define a metric on by
[TABLE]
The completeness of follows essentially from Lemma 2.3 in Shao et al. [31].
Freezing the distribution
For a given , denote , we construct the following classic SDE
[TABLE]
almost surely for any with . According to [28, Theorem 2.1], the classical SDE (2.1) admits a unique solution with Moreover, we have .
Constructing a contractive mapping
Define the mapping
[TABLE]
We show that is a strict contraction in . For another , let solve SDE (2.1) by replacing there with for . Applying Itô’s formula to , taking the supremum over and expectation, and using the Assumption (A2), we get
[TABLE]
Moreover, due to
[TABLE]
we obtain
[TABLE]
Therefore,
[TABLE]
Applying Young’s inequality , let we have
[TABLE]
Finally, using
[TABLE]
we obtain
[TABLE]
By using BDG’s inequality and (2.3), we have
[TABLE]
where . In the same way for the term driven by , we have
[TABLE]
where .
As for the jump term, let
[TABLE]
Note that
[TABLE]
By the Kunita’s inequality (see [14, Theorem 4.4.23]) for compensated Poisson integrals there exists a constant such that
[TABLE]
Using , and the Assumption (A7), we get
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Hence, similar to the term driven by ,
[TABLE]
where depends on and the moments . Substituting (2.4), (2.5), (2.6) into (2.2), we obtain
[TABLE]
where . Hence,
[TABLE]
Therefore, we have
[TABLE]
Combining the definition of the metric on the space and recalling that and , we obtain, for any ,
[TABLE]
Choosing , then we have .
By the contraction mapping principle on , the mapping
[TABLE]
is a strict contraction on the complete metric space . Hence there exists a unique fixed point such that
[TABLE]
By definition of , satisfies
[TABLE]
which is precisely equation (1.1). Uniqueness follows immediately: if is any other solution of (1.1), then , and by uniqueness of the fixed point . Therefore, SDE (1.1) with initial distribution has a unique solution.
We now iterate this argument to cover the whole interval . Let and for define the shifted time intervals . Suppose that a unique solution has been constructed on . Use the terminal value as the initial condition for the problem on the next interval . Define the mapping on the space exactly as before but with initial time and initial law induced by . The same local estimate (with the same constant ) is valid on any interval of length , hence is again a contraction on with contraction constant . Therefore there exists a unique fixed point on . By constructing the solutions, we have , so the pieces connect together to give a unique adapted solution on satisfying (1.1). Thus the existence on is proved.
**Proving the boundedness of the second-order moment **
Apply Itô’s formula to . Using Assumption (A1), taking expectation and noting
[TABLE]
we derive
[TABLE]
By Grönwall’s inequality, we obtain
[TABLE]
This establishes existence, uniqueness, and the boundedness of the second-order moment. ∎
We will need the following Lemma later.
Lemma 2.4**.**
For any , we have
[TABLE]
where denotes the conditional law of given .
Proof.
Recall that for two probability measures and on , the 2-Wasserstein distance is defined as
[TABLE]
where denotes the set of all couplings of and .
In our case, is the Dirac measure at the origin. Since is a deterministic measure, there is only one possible coupling between and , namely the product measure
[TABLE]
Now compute the cost with this specific coupling
[TABLE]
Since is concentrated at , the inner integral evaluates to
[TABLE]
Therefore,
[TABLE]
This completes the proof. ∎
Proposition 2.5**.**
Let assumptions (A1)-(A7) hold. Based on Theorem 2.3, we can further obtain for each , one can find a constant such that for all ,
[TABLE]
where .
Proof.
We hereby follow the methodology introduced in [32, Proposition 2.3 ].
Step 1: It follows from Theorem 2.3 that
Step 2: We first demonstrate that for any even natural number and for any , the following holds,
[TABLE]
Observe that (2.10) is valid for the case as established in Step 1. Assume now, as an induction hypothesis, that (2.10) holds for every even integer , namely
[TABLE]
Let and consider any even integer . By applying Itô’s formula to the process , we obtain
[TABLE]
To handle the last integral in (2.12), it suffices to apply the binomial theorem, which yields, for any ,
[TABLE]
Next, by repeatedly applying the binomial theorem, using Assumption (A5), the identity (2.4) and Young’s inequality
[TABLE]
which holds for any , , as well as the Binomial identities
[TABLE]
which valid for any , we obtain,
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
This, together with the identity
[TABLE]
which holds for any , yields,
[TABLE]
As a consequence of (2.13) and (2.14), we conclude that for any ,
[TABLE]
Under Assumption (A4), the Lévy measure satisfies
[TABLE]
which ensures the convergence of the higher-order jump integrals in (2.13). Therefore, by substituting (2.15) into (2.12), we obtain that for any ,
[TABLE]
Now, for each , define the stopping time
[TABLE]
By choosing and applying Assumption (A6), Remark 2.1, together with Lemma 2.4
[TABLE]
we obtain,
[TABLE]
Next, using the inequality
[TABLE]
and the induction hypothesis (2.11), there exists a positive constant , independent of , such that
[TABLE]
This yields
[TABLE]
which implies that almost surely as . Now, letting and applying Fatou’s lemma to the left-hand side of (2.17), we obtain
[TABLE]
Thus, by the principle of induction, we establish (2.10).
Step 3: We next aim to prove (2.9) for every even natural number .
First, by applying (2.12) with and , and using Assumption (A6), we obtain
[TABLE]
Due to Lemma 2.4, we have and by applying the estimate (2.10), we deduce
[TABLE]
This yields
[TABLE]
so that (2.9) holds in the case . Assume now, as an induction hypothesis, (2.9) is valid for every even integer , that is,
[TABLE]
We prove that (2.9) also holds for the even integer . The argument relies on (2.16), the inductive assumption (2.18), and Assumption (A4).
Case .
We have
[TABLE]
Since almost surely as , Fatou’s lemma gives
[TABLE]
If , then
[TABLE]
If , we obtain
[TABLE]
Case .
If , then
[TABLE]
Letting and using , we find
[TABLE]
hence .
If , we have
[TABLE]
Letting yields .
Therefore, (2.9) holds for the given even . By induction, it follows that (2.9) is valid for all even integers , and by Hölder’s inequality, for all real . This completes the proof. ∎
3 Propagation of chaos
For each , let , , be independent copies of the pair . Denote by the Poisson random measure corresponding to the jumps of the Lévy process with intensity measure , and define the compensated Poisson random measure by
[TABLE]
Then, the Lévy-Itô decomposition of is given by
[TABLE]
We now consider the system of non-interacting particles associated with the McKean-Vlasov SDE driven by Lévy processes with common noise (1.1), where the state of the -th particle is defined by
[TABLE]
for any and .
For , we have
[TABLE]
Here, the empirical measure is defined by
[TABLE]
where denotes the Dirac measure concentrated at . Moreover, a standard estimate for the Wasserstein distance between two empirical measures and is given by
[TABLE]
(see inequality (1.24) in [12]). The true measure at each time is approximated by the empirical measure
[TABLE]
where denotes the system of interacting particles, which is the solution to an -valued SDE driven by Lévy processes with common noise. The components correspond to the state of the -th particle. Then, we have
[TABLE]
for any and . Note that the interacting particle system can be regarded as a SDE driven by Lévy processes with common noise and random coefficients taking values in . Therefore, under assumptions (A1), (A2), and (A3) and , there exists a unique cdlg solution to (3.5) satisfying
[TABLE]
for any , where the constant is independent of .
Proposition 3.1**.**
([32, Proposition 3.1]) Let assumptions (A1)-(A7) hold, for each , there exists a constant such that, for all ,
[TABLE]
where . In the special case , one further has
[TABLE]
Proof.
The argument follows the same reasoning as in the proof of Proposition 2.5 and is therefore omitted here. ∎
Proposition 3.2**.**
Define the rate function
[TABLE]
Under the conditions of Proposition 3.1 and Assumption (A2) with , , there exists a constant , independent of , such that for all ,
[TABLE]
Furthermore, if and , then the constant can be made independent of time, i.e., there exists , independent of and , such that
[TABLE]
Proof.
The proof of the theorem follows the classical approach presented in [32]. It is important to emphasize that the main novelty of our result is the extension of the estimate to the setting with common noise. Observe that for any ,
[TABLE]
Next, for , by applying Itô’s formula and invoking Assumption (A2), , and , we deduce that for all ,
[TABLE]
By taking the expectation to (3.9), we have for any ,
[TABLE]
Next, according to (3.2), (3.3), (3.4) and , let we have
[TABLE]
Moreover, by Proposition 3.1, for any , we have
[TABLE]
for some constant , together with Carmona and Delarue [10, Theorem 5.8] deduce that
[TABLE]
Combining (3.11) and (3.12), we have
[TABLE]
Consequently, it suffices to choose in (LABEL:3.6) to conclude that
[TABLE]
Thus, we have
[TABLE]
Then using Grönwall’s inequality, we have
[TABLE]
When and , one can choose sufficiently small so that . Hence, we have
[TABLE]
for any , where the positive constant does not depend on time. This completes the proof. ∎

5 Numerical Examples
In this section we present four conditional McKean-Vlasov SDE test problems with common noise and jumps, and examine the performance of the TAEM scheme. All model coefficients satisfy (A1)-(A7). For a final time and a family of dyadic time grids indexed by with time step , we define the level- mean-squared error (MSE) against the finest reference level under a fully coupled driver construction:
[TABLE]
Hence corresponds to an almost first-order decay of the MSE with respect to (since implies a root mean-square error of order ). We report the fitted for with each model and show the aggregate plot in Figure 1.
Model 1: Ginzburg-Landau model with common noise.
[TABLE]
where and . Here denotes an idiosyncratic Brownian motion, a common Brownian motion, and a pure-jump Lévy process (e.g., tempered-stable). Due to Example 1, assumptions (A1)-(A7) are satisfied.
For Model 1, Figure 1 shows that the TAEM scheme exhibits an almost first-order decay of the MSE at short horizon, with for . At , we observe a pre-asymptotic superlinear behaviour with . At , the fitted rate turns negative () and the MSE increases upon refinement, reflecting long-horizon instability driven by strong nonlinearity under common noise.
Model 2: LQ conditional mean-field control I model.

with control
[TABLE]
Here denotes the common Brownian motion, an idiosyncratic Brownian motion, and a compensated Poisson random measure. The jump distribution is Gaussian with variance , and the jump intensity is . Under these specifications, assumptions (A1)-(A7) are satisfied.
For Model 2, Figure 1 shows that we obtain for , respectively. Accuracy remains robust and even improves within our tested range, reflecting that the control effectively neutralizes both idiosyncratic and common fluctuations.
Model 3: LQ conditional mean-field control II model.

Here and are independent compensated Poisson random measures, representing idiosyncratic and common jumps, respectively. Both jump distributions are Gaussian with variance , with intensities and . By the Lipschitz and linear growth conditions, (A1)-(A7) are fulfilled.
For Model 3, Figure 1 shows that the fitted rates are for , respectively, again with slopes around or above and stable behaviour as grows.
Model 4: Interbank lending model with jumps.
[TABLE]
where denotes the conditional mean with respect to the common noise. This model captures mean-reversion toward the conditional average across banks, together with both idiosyncratic and common volatility. The jump distribution is Gaussian with variance , and the jump intensity is . Again, (A1)-(A7) are satisfied.
For Model 4, Figure 1 shows that we obtain for , respectively, with consistently large slopes and good large- behaviour; mean reversion stabilizes the dynamics against the combined effect of common Brownian noise and Gaussian jumps.
Conclusion.
In summary, the numerical experiments display an almost first-order decay of the MSE in most cases (with fitted slopes ), which complements the strong convergence result in Theorem 4.3. Its long-horizon robustness hinges on the balance among nonlinearity strength, common-noise coupling, and jump activity. Across the four models, LQ-I/II and Interbank remain stable over extended horizons, while the Ginzburg-Landau model shows a transient non-asymptotic behaviour only at very large due to strong nonlinearity. Nevertheless, across practically relevant horizons all models demonstrate satisfactory convergence behaviour and accuracy at the tested resolutions.
Moreover, the inclusion of common noise in all four models is essential. In practical financial and economic systems, individual agents are not only exposed to their own idiosyncratic shocks, but also to systemic sources of randomness such as market-wide fluctuations, macroeconomic policy shifts, or collective risk factors. This type of shared uncertainty governs the correlation structure among agents and strongly affects the evolution of the mean field as well as the effectiveness of control strategies. Neglecting common noise would lead to an overestimation of convergence and stability, and would fail to capture the mechanism of error accumulation over long horizons. Hence, incorporating common noise is crucial for accurately describing systemic risk propagation, assessing the robustness of numerical schemes, and ensuring that the models remain relevant for real-world applications.
