In a statistical model of systems of (interacting) particles proposed by the first author (cf.[8, 12]) the following two facts are combined together: One is that a system determines a (non-linear) diffusion process when the number of particles is large enough (eg Vlasov-McKean (or mean-field) limit, see [7]; in [8] it is called" intermediate description" of a system). Another one is that there is one to one correspondence between a class of diffusion processes and an eigenvalue problem of Schr6dinger type. More precisely, there is a diffusion process which has an invariant density 1012 where 0 is an eigenfunction (cf. F~ nyes [3], Nelson [13], Nagasawa [8]; in [8] this is called" macroscopic description"). If we assume that the process of the mean-field limit will become asymptotically stationary and have an invariant density 1~ 12, then we obtain a statistical model which connects three objects; systems of interacting particles, diffusion processes and eigenvalue problems. The model will be explained briefly in w and Appendix (see [8, 9, 12] for some applications of the model). There are several interesting mathematical problems in this context:(i) Given an equilibrium distribution density of a system, find a pair-interaction between particles of the system.(ii) Given a (pair) interaction, prove the existence of the diffusion process in the mean-field limit.(iii) Prove the law of large numbers (propagation of chaos).(iv) Investigate the asymptotic behaviour of the system as t--+ oo. The problem (ii) and (iii) were discussed by McKean [7] under the assumption of the Lipschitz continuity of the interaction (for related limit theorems see Tanaka [16] and Sznitman [14], and also Dawson [1]). However, this assumption is too strict for our purpose, because the interactions which produce equilibrium distributions of excited states are not Lipschitz continuous and have singularities that are caused by zeros of the eigenfunctions.
