Description
We consider $N$ balls and $L$ bins. Initially the balls are randomly placed into the bins. At each time a ball is taken from every non empty bin. Then all the drawn balls are placed into the bins according to a definite law. The evolution is a Markov chain. The model is an interacting particle system with parallel updating so it is not reversible. We give conditions under which propagation of chaos holds and present three applications.
