In the first part of the present paper, we show that strong convergence of $(v_{0 \varepsilon})_{\varepsilon \in (0, 1)}$ in $L^1(\Omega)$ and weak convergence of $(f_{\varepsilon})_{\varepsilon \in (0, 1)}$ in $L_{\textrm{loc}}^1(\overline…

We present a proof showing that the weak error of a system of $n$ interacting stochastic particles approximating the solution of the McKean-Vlasov equation is $\mathcal O(n^{-1})$. Our proof is based on the Kolmogorov backward equation for…
We represent minimal upper gradients of Newtonian functions, in the range $1\le p<\infty$, by maximal directional derivatives along "generic" curves passing through a given point, using plan-modulus duality and disintegration techniques. As…
We prove an approximation result for functions $u\in SBV(\Omega;\mathbb R^m)$ such that $\nabla u$ is $p$-integrable, $1\leq p<\infty$, and $g_0(|[u]|)$ is integrable over the jump set (whose $\mathcal H^{n-1}$ measure is possibly…
