In this paper, we exploit the gradient flow structure of continuous-time formulations of Bayesian inference in terms of their numerical time-stepping. We focus on two particular examples, namely, the continuous-time ensemble Kalman-Bucy…

Two flows on a finite-dimensional normed space $X$ are equivalent if some homeomorphism $h$ of $X$ preserves all orbits, i.e., $h$ maps each orbit onto an orbit. Under the assumption that $h$, $h^{-1}$ both are $\beta$-H\"{o}lder continuous…

Linear networks provide valuable insights into the workings of neural networks in general. This paper identifies conditions under which the gradient flow provably trains a linear network, in spite of the non-strict saddle points present in…

The flow equation approach investigated by Wegner et al. is applied to an unbounded Hamiltonian system with a generalization. We show that a well-known quantized complex energy eigenvalues which is related to decay widths can be given with…

A relaxed notion of displacement convexity is defined and used to establish short time existence and uniqueness of Wasserstein gradient flows for higher order energy functionals. As an application, local and global well-posedness of…

We consider gradient flow/gradient descent and heavy ball/accelerated gradient descent optimization for convex objective functions. In the gradient flow case, we prove the following: 1. If $f$ does not have a minimizer, the convergence…

We study the behaviour of a Hilbert geometry when going to infinity along a geodesic line. We prove that all the information is contained in the shape of the boundary at the endpoint of this geodesic line and have to introduce a regularity…

We consider discrete porous medium equations of the form \partial_t \rho_t = \Delta \phi(\rho_t), where \Delta is the generator of a reversible continuous time Markov chain on a finite set X, and \phi is an increasing function. We show that…

We consider the question of convergence of a sequence of gradient flows defined on different Hilbert spaces. In order to give meaning to this idea, we introduce a notion of connecting operators. This permits us to generalize the concept of…

This paper presents existence and uniqueness results for a class of parabolic systems with non linear diffusion and nonlocal interaction. These systems can be viewed as regular perturbations of Wasserstein gradient flows. Here we extend…

We study the gradient flow of the potential energy on the infinite-dimensional Riemannian manifold of spatial curves parametrized by the arc length, which models overdamped motion of a falling inextensible string. We prove existence of…

Geometric flows have proved to be a powerful geometric analysis tool, perhaps most notably in the study of 3-manifold topology, the differentiable sphere theorem, Hermitian-Yang-Mills connections and canonical Kaehler metrics. In the…

We study a geometric flow on curves, immersed in $\mathbb{R}^3$, that have strictly positive torsion. The evolution equation is given by $$X_{t}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\tau}} \textbf{B}$$ where $\tau$ is the torsion and $\textbf{B}$ is the unit…

We prove convergence of the gradient flow of the Ginzburg-Landau energy functional on a Riemann surface in the self-dual Bogomolny case, in Coulomb gauge. The proof is direct and makes use of the associated nonlinear first order…
