We study the Wasserstein gradient flow of semi-discrete energies in the space of probability measures, that is functionals depending on two measures-one being an absolutely continuous density and the other an atomic measure. These energies…
Wasserstein gradient flows provide a powerful means of understanding and solving many diffusion equations. Specifically, Fokker-Planck equations, which model the diffusion of probability measures, can be understood as gradient descent over…
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…
In this paper, we study higher-order-accurate-in-time minimizing movements schemes for Wasserstein gradient flows. We introduce a novel accelerated second-order scheme, leveraging the differential structure of the Wasserstein space in both…
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…
The theory of Wasserstein gradient flows in the space of probability measures has made an enormous progress over the last twenty years. It constitutes a unified and powerful framework in the study of dissipative partial differential…
We analyze the gradient flow of a potential energy in the space of probability measures when we substitute the optimal transport geometry with a geometry based on Sinkhorn divergences, a debiased version of entropic optimal transport. This…
We study the quantitative convergence of drift-diffusion PDEs that arise as Wasserstein gradient flows of linearly convex functions over the space of probability measures on ${\mathbb R}^d$. In this setting, the objective is in general not…
This thesis analyze the Wasserstein gradient flow of a functional defined as a double convolution of a non-smooth repulsive interaction potential. To be more precise, the potential under investigation has a -|x| behavior close to the…
In this paper we devote our attention to a class of weighted ultrafast diffusion equations arising from the problem of quantisation for probability measures. These equations have a natural gradient flow structure in the space of probability…
We study the long time behavior of the Wasserstein gradient flow for an energy functional consisting of two components: particles are attracted to a fixed profile $\omega$ by means of an interaction kernel $\psi_a(z)=|z|^{q_a}$,and they…
We consider dynamics driven by interaction energies on graphs. We introduce graph analogues of the continuum nonlocal-interaction equation and interpret them as gradient flows with respect to a graph Wasserstein distance. The particular…
Wasserstein gradient flow has emerged as a promising approach to solve optimization problems over the space of probability distributions. A recent trend is to use the well-known JKO scheme in combination with input convex neural networks to…
Inspired by recent work on minimizers and gradient flows of constrained interaction energies, we prove that these energies arise as the slow diffusion limit of well-known aggregation-diffusion energies. We show that minimizers of…
We consider a class of time-fractional porous medium equations with nonlocal pressure. We show the existence of their weak solutions by proposing a JKO scheme for modified Wasserstein distance and a square fractional Sobolev norm. Moreover,…
Wasserstein gradient flow provides a general framework for minimizing an energy functional $J$ over the space of probability measures on a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$. Its canonical time-discretization, the Jordan-Kinderlehrer-Otto (JKO)…
The Poisson-Nernst-Planck system of equations used to model ionic transport is interpreted as a gradient flow for the Wasserstein distance and a free energy in the space of probability measures with finite second moment. A variational…
This work is the third part of a program initiated in arXiv:2111.13258, arXiv:2302.06571 aiming at the development of an intrinsic geometric well-posedness theory for Hamilton-Jacobi equations related to controlled gradient flow problems in…
In this paper, we start from a very natural system of cross-diffusion equations, which can be seen as a gradient flow for the Wasserstein distance of a certain functional. Unfortunately, the cross-diffusion system is not well-posed, as a…
A recurring obstacle in the study of Wasserstein gradient flow is the lack of convexity of the square Wasserstein metric. In this paper, we develop a class of transport metrics that have better convexity properties and use these metrics to…
