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…
Inspired by the gradient flow viewpoint of the Landau equation and the corresponding dynamic formulation of the Landau metric in [arXiv:2007.08591], we develop a novel implicit particle method for the Landau equation in the framework of the…

The aggregation equation arises naturally in kinetic theory in the study of granular media, and its interpretation as a 2-Wasserstein gradient flow for the nonlocal interaction energy is well-known. Starting from the spatially homogeneous…
The classical (overdamped) Langevin dynamics provide a natural algorithm for sampling from its invariant measure, which uniquely minimizes an energy functional over the space of probability measures, and which concentrates around the…
We consider a system of N particles interacting via a short-range smooth potential, in a intermediate regime between the weak-coupling and the low-density. We provide a rigorous derivation of the Linear Landau equation from this particle…
We prove the well-posedness of entropy solutions for a wide class of nonlocal transport equations with nonlinear mobility in one spatial dimension. The solution is obtained as the limit of approximations constructed via a deterministic…
We study the pointwise (in the space and time variables) behavior of the linearized Landau equation for hard and moderately soft potentials. The solution has very clear description in the $(x,t)-$variables, including large time behavior and…
In this paper, we present new estimates for the entropy dissipation of the Landau-Fermi-Dirac equation (with hard or moderately soft potentials) in terms of a weighted relative Fisher information adapted to this equation. Such estimates are…
We prove a bound on the entropy dissipation for the Boltzmann collision operator from below by a weighted $L^p$-Norm. The estimate holds for a wide range of potentials including soft potentials as well as very soft potentials. As an…
