The defining equation $(\ast):\ \dot \omega\_t=-F'(\omega\_t),$ of a gradient flow is kinetic in essence. This article explores some dynamical (rather than kinetic) features of gradient flows (i) by embedding equation $(\ast)$ into the…

We show that the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation evolves as the gradient flow of the entropy with respect to a suitable geometry on the space of probability measures which takes the collision process into account. This gradient…

This is the final version of the author's diploma thesis written at the Humboldt University of Berlin in 1995. The topic is the flow of granular material in narrow vertical pipes, driven by the gravity, that is described by Langevin…

Under suitable assumptions on $\beta:\mathbb{R}\!\to\!\mathbb{R}, \,D:\mathbb{R}^d\!\to\!\mathbb{R}^d$ and $b:\mathbb{R}^d\!\to\!\mathbb{R}$, the nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation $u_t-\Delta\beta(u)+{\rm div}(Db(u)u)=0$, in…

We perform a systematic analysis of flow-like solutions in theories of Einstein gravity coupled to multiple scalar fields, which arise as holographic RG flows as well as in the context of cosmological solutions driven by scalars. We use the…

We consider a class of time dependent second order partial differential equations governed by a decaying entropy. The solution usually corresponds to a density distribution, hence positivity (non-negativity) is expected. This class of…
