We investigate the stability of solutions to the Vlasov-Poisson system using the unifying framework of the kinetic Wasserstein distance, introduced by Iacobelli in (Section 4 in Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 244 (2022), no. 1, 27-50). This…

We prove an upper bound on the Wassertein distance between normalized martingales and the standard normal random variable, which extends a result of R\"ollin [Statist. Probabil. Lett. 138 (2018) 171-176]. The proof is based on a method of…

Motivated by pedestrian modelling, we study evolution of measures in the Wasserstein space. In particular, we consider the Cauchy problem for a transport equation, where the velocity field depends on the measure itself. We deal with…

We deal with the obstacle problem for the porous medium equation in the slow diffusion regime $m>1$. Our main interest is to treat fairly irregular obstacles assuming only boundedness and lower semicontinuity. In particular, the considered…
