Rigorous derivation of the mean-field limit for the signal-dependent Keller-Segel system

We rigorously derive a two-dimensional Keller-Segel type system with signal-dependent sensitivity from a stochastic interacting particle model. By employing suitably defined stopping times, we prove that the convergence of the interacting particle system towards the corresponding mean-field limit equations in probability under an algebraic scaling regime which improves upon existing results with logarithmic scaling. Building on this, we apply the relative-entropy method to obtain strong $L^1$ propagation of chaos, and establish an algebraic convergence rate.
