Sumario:A family of heterogeneous mean-field systems with jumps is analyzed. These systems are constructed as a Gibbs measure on block graphs. When the total number of particles goes to infinity, the law of large numbers is shown to hold in a multi-class context, resulting in the weak convergence of the empirical vector towards the solution of a McKean–Vlasov system of equations. We then investigate the local stability of the limiting McKean–Vlasov system through the construction of a local Lyapunov function. We first compute the limit of adequately scaled relative entropy functions associated with the explicit stationary distribution of the <i>N</i>-particles system. Using a Laplace principle for empirical vectors, we show that the limit takes an explicit form. Then we demonstrate that this limit satisfies a descent property, which, combined with some mild assumptions shows that it is indeed a local Lyapunov function.
