We consider the mean-field limit of systems of particles with singular interactions of the type $-\log|x|$ or $|x|^{-s}$, with $0< s<d-2$, and with an additive noise in dimensions $d \geq 3$. We use a modulated-energy approach to prove a…
Why does gradient descent reliably find good solutions in non-convex neural network optimization, despite the landscape being NP-hard in the worst case? We show that gradient flow on L-layer ReLU networks without bias preserves L-1…
This article considers nonlocal heat flows into a singular target space. The problem is the parabolic analogue of a stationary problem that arises as the limit of a singularly perturbed elliptic system. It also provides a gradient flow…
We prove the existence of weak solutions to a system of two diffusion equations that are coupled by a pointwise volume constraint. The time evolution is given by gradient dynamics for a free energy functional. Our primary example is a model…

Most of lipschitz regularity results for nonlinear strictly elliptic equations are obtained for a suitable growth power of the nonlinearity with respect to the gradient variable (subquadratic for instance). For equations with superquadratic…

We study a system of drift-diffusion PDEs for a potentially infinite number of incompressible phases, subject to a joint pointwise volume constraint. Our analysis is based on the interpretation as a collection of coupled Wasserstein…
This paper studies the asymptotic behaviour of the solution of a differential equation perturbed by a fast flow preserving an infinite measure. This question is related with limit theorems for non-stationary Birkhoff integrals. We…
This paper is concerned with the mean-field limit for the gradient flow evolution of particle systems with pairwise Riesz interactions, as the number of particles tends to infinity. Based on a modulated energy method, using regularity and…
We study a continuous-time dynamical system which arises as the limit of a broad class of nonlinearly preconditioned gradient methods. Under mild assumptions, we establish existence of global solutions and derive Lyapunov-based convergence…
We study the asymptotic behaviour of families of gradient flows in a general metric setting, when the metric-dissipation potentials degenerate in the limit to a dissipation with linear growth. We present a general variational definition of…
We consider a finite region of a lattice of weakly interacting geodesic flows on manifolds of negative curvature and we show that, when rescaling the interactions and the time appropriately, the energies of the flows evolve according to a…
In this paper, we study the forced mean curvature flows and the prescribed mean curvature equations of both graphs and level-sets with capillary-type boundary conditions on a $C^3$ bounded domain, which is not necessarily convex. We prove a…
We study random surfaces with a uniformly convex gradient interaction in the presence of quenched disorder taking the form of a random independent external field. Previous work on the model has focused on proving existence and uniqueness of…
