The thin-film and quantum drift diffusion equations belong to a fourth-order family of evolution equations proposed in ref. 16 to be analogous to the (second-order) porous medium family. They are $2$-Wasserstein gradient ($W_2$) flows of…

A nonlinear parabolic equation of sixth order is analyzed. The equation arises as a reduction of a model from quantum statistical mechanics, and also as the gradient flow of a second-order information functional with respect to the…

In this paper, we consider a family of one-dimensional fourth order evolution equations arising as gradient flows of the Korteweg energy, i.e. the $L^2$-norm of the first derivative of some power of the density. This family of equations…

We study a class of fourth order nonlinear parabolic equations which include the thin-film equation and the quantum drift-diffusion model as special cases. We investigate these equations by first developing functional inequalities of the…

A nonlinear diffusion equation, interpreted as a Wasserstein gradient flow, is numerically solved in one space dimension using a higher-order minimizing movement scheme based on the BDF (backward differentiation formula) discretization. In…

We study ``nonlocal diffusion equations'' of the form \[ \partial_{t}\frac{d\rho_{t}}{d\pi}(x)+\int_{X}\left(\frac{d\rho_{t}}{d\pi}(x)-\frac{d\rho_{t}}{d\pi}(y)\right)\eta(x,y)d\pi(y)=0\qquad(\dagger) \] where $X$ is either $\mathbb{R}^{d}$…

This article is concerned with the existence and the long time behavior of weak solutions to certain coupled systems of fourth-order degenerate parabolic equations of gradient flow type. The underlying metric is a Wasserstein-like…

Some solutions for one class of nonlinear fourth-order partial differential equations \[u_{tt} = ({\kappa u + \gamma u^2})_{xx} + \nu uu_{xxxx} + \mu u_{xxtt} + \alpha u_x u_{xxx} + \beta u_{xx}^2 \] where $\alpha ,\;\beta ,\;\gamma ,\;\mu…

In this paper we provide a variational characterisation for a class of non-linear evolution equations with constant non-negative Dirichlet boundary conditions on a bounded domain as gradient flows in the space of non-negative measures. The…

We study an evolution equation that is the gradient flow in the $2$-Wasserstien metric of a non-convex functional for densities in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with $n \geq 3$. Like the Patlack-Keller-Segel system on $\mathbb{R}^2$, this evolution…

We study the gradient-flow structure of a non-Newtonian thin film equation with power-law rheology. The equation is quasilinear, of fourth order and doubly-degenerate parabolic. By adding a singular potential to the natural Dirichlet…

Uncertainty propagation and filtering can be interpreted as gradient flows with respect to suitable metrics in the infinite dimensional manifold of probability density functions. Such a viewpoint has been put forth in recent literature, and…

In this work, we study a fourth order exponential equation, $u_t=\Delta e^{-\Delta u},$ derived from thin film growth on crystal surface in multiple space dimensions. We use the gradient flow method in metric space to characterize the…

This paper investigates the asymptotic behavior of strong solutions to a family of nonlinear fourth-order evolution equations on the real line, with particular focus on the thin-film equation $\partial_tu = -(uu_{xxx})_x$. The method builds…

In this paper, we establish a novel approach to proving existence of non-negative weak solutions for degenerate parabolic equations of fourth order, like the Cahn-Hilliard and certain thin film equations. The considered evolution equations…

In this paper we present a numerical scheme for nonlinear continuity equations, which is based on the gradient flow formulation of an energy functional with respect to the quadratic transportation distance. It can be applied to a large…

We show that degenerate nonlinear diffusion equations can be asymptotically obtained as a limit from a class of nonlocal partial differential equations. The nonlocal equations are obtained as gradient flows of interaction-like energies…

We present a complete description of the similarity solutions $u_{\alpha}(x,t)=t^{-\alpha/2}f(\Vert x \Vert/\sqrt{t};\alpha)$ for the following nonlinear diffusion equation $$ u_{t}+\gamma\vert u_{t} \vert =\Delta u\qquad(-1<\gamma<1) $$…

This paper is devoted to existence and uniqueness results for classes of nonlinear diffusion equations (or systems) which may be viewed as regular perturbations of Wasserstein gradient flows. First, in the case. where the drift is a…

Fifth order, quasi-linear, non-constant separant evolution equations are of the form u_t=A\frac{\partial^5 u}{\partial x^5}+\tilde{B}, where A and \tilde{B} are functions of x, t, u and of the derivatives of u with respect to x up to order…
