초록

We develop a unified relative entropy framework for macroscopic limits of kinetic equations with Riesz-type interactions and Fokker-Planck relaxation. The method combines entropy dissipation, Fisher-information control, and modulated interaction energies into a robust stability theory that yields both strong and weak convergence results. For the strong convergence, we establish quantitative relative entropy estimates toward macroscopic limits under well-prepared data, extending the scope of the method to settings where nonlocal forces and singular scalings play a decisive role. For the weak convergence, we prove that quantitative convergence propagates in bounded Lipschitz topologies, even when the initial relative entropy diverges with respect to the singular scaling parameter. This dual perspective shows that relative entropy provides not only a tool for strong convergence, but also a new mechanism to handle mildly prepared initial states. We establish quantitative convergence toward three prototypical limits: the diffusive limit leading to a drift-diffusion equation, the high-field limit yielding the aggregation equation in the repulsive regime, and the strong magnetic field limit producing a generalized surface quasi-geostrophic equation. The analysis highlights the unifying role of relative entropy in connecting microscopic dissipation with both strong and weak macroscopic convergence.
