We study an aggregation PDE with competing attractive and repulsive forces on a sphere of arbitrary dimension. In particular, we consider the limit of strongly localized repulsion with a constant attraction term. We prove convergence of…

We consider dynamics driven by interaction energies on graphs. We introduce graph analogues of the continuum nonlocal-interaction equation and interpret them as gradient flows with respect to a graph Wasserstein distance. The particular…

We study the emergence of gradient flows in Wasserstein distance as high friction limits of an abstract Euler flow generated by an energy functional. We develop a relative energy calculation that connects the Euler flow to the gradient flow…

Fitting a function by using linear combinations of a large number $N$ of `simple' components is one of the most fruitful ideas in statistical learning. This idea lies at the core of a variety of methods, from two-layer neural networks to…

We consider the relationship between Hele-Shaw evolution with drift, the porous medium equation with superharmonic drift, and a congested crowd motion model originally proposed by [MRS]- [MRSV]. We first use viscosity solutions to show that…

We study the mathematical theory of second order systems with two species, arising in the dynamics of interacting particles subject to linear damping, to nonlocal forces and to external ones, and resulting into a nonlocal version of the…

We consider a model of congestion dynamics with chemotaxis: The density of cells follows a chemical signal it generates, while subject to an incompressibility constraint. The incompressibility constraint results in the formation of patches,…

Over the past decades, nonlocal models have been widely used to describe aggregation phenomena in biology, physics, engineering, and the social sciences. These are often derived as mean-field limits of attraction-repulsion agent-based…

Statistical inference based on optimal transport offers a different perspective from that of maximum likelihood, and has increasingly gained attention in recent years. In this paper, we study univariate nonparametric shape-constrained…

We introduce Wasserstein-like dynamical transport distances between vector-valued densities on the real line. The mobility function from the scalar theory is replaced by a mobility matrix, that is subject to positivity and concavity…

A simple model to handle the flow of people in emergency evacuation situations is considered: at every point x, the velocity U(x) that individuals at x would like to realize is given. Yet, the incompressibility constraint prevents this…

We prove the tightness of radially-symmetric solutions to 2D aggregation-diffusion equations, where the pairwise attraction force is possibly degenerate at large distance. We first reduce the problem into the finiteness of a time integral…
