Structure preserving schemes for a class of Wasserstein gradient flows

Numerical Analysis 2024-07-15 v1 Numerical Analysis

Abstract

We introduce in this paper two time discretization schemes tailored for a range of Wasserstein gradient flows. These schemes are designed to preserve mass, positivity and to be uniquely solvable. In addition, they also ensure energy dissipation in many typical scenarios. Through extensive numerical experiments, we demonstrate the schemes' robustness, accuracy and efficiency.
