In this paper we proceed with investigation of connections between Fokker - Planck equation and continuum mechanics. We base upon expressions from our work [2], based upon the spectral decomposition of Fokker - Planck equation solution. In…
We study two schemes for a time-fractional Fokker-Planck equation with space- and time-dependent forcing in one space dimension. The first scheme is continuous in time and is discretized in space using a piecewise-linear Galerkin finite…
We study the asymptotic behaviour of a gradient system in a regime in which the driving energy becomes singular. For this system gradient-system convergence concepts are ineffective. We characterize the limiting behaviour in a different…
The Fokker-Planck equation provides complete statistical description of a particle undergoing random motion in a solvent. In the presence of Lorentz force due to an external magnetic field, the Fokker-Planck equation picks up a tensorial…
We propose a finite volume scheme for a class of nonlinear parabolic equations endowed with non-homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions and which admit relative en-tropy functionals. For this kind of models including porous media…
We investigate the $\Gamma$-convergence of Ambrosio-Tortorelli type-functionals for circle valued functions, in the case of volume terms with linear growth. We show the emergence of a non-local $\Gamma$-limit, which is due to the…
We show that the continuous-time gradient descent in Rn can be viewed as an optimal controlled evolution for a suitable action functional; a similar result holds for stochastic gradient descent. We then provide an analogous characterization…
We consider the evolution of open planar curves by the steepest descent flow of a geometric functional, under different boundary conditions. We prove that, if any set of stationary solutions with fixed energy is finite, then a solution of…
We establish some new results about the $\Gamma$-limit, with respect to the $L^1$-topology, of two different (but related) phase-field approximations of the so-called Euler's Elastica Bending Energy for curves in the plane.
In the stationary case, atomistic interaction energies can be proved to $\Gamma$-converge to classical elasticity models in the simultaneous atomistic-to-continuum and linearization limit [19],[40]. The aim of this note is that of extending…
A general framework for the numerical approximation of evolution problems is presented that allows to preserve exactly an underlying Hamiltonian- or gradient structure. The approach relies on rewriting the evolution problem in a particular…
We establish a representation of the heat flow with Wentzell boundary conditions on smooth domains as gradient descent dynamics for the entropy in a suitably extended Otto manifold of probability measures with additional boundary parts. Yet…
In this paper we proceed with investigation of connections between Fokker - Planck equation and continuum mechanics. In spectral decomposition of Fokker - Planck equation solution we preserve only terms with the smallest degree of damping.…
We present a convergence analysis of a finite volume (FV) scheme for the multicomponent compressible Euler system in the framework of dissipative weak (DW) solutions. DW solutions were introduced as a generalized solution framework in…
A new notion of displacement convexity on a matrix level is developed for density flows arising from mean-field games, compressible Euler equations, entropic interpolation, and semi-classical limits of non-linear Schr\"odinger equations.…
This paper approaches the unsupervised learning problem by gradient descent in the space of probability density functions. A main result shows that along the gradient flow induced by a distribution-dependent ordinary differential equation…
Our work is motivated by a desire to study the theoretical underpinning for the convergence of stochastic gradient type algorithms widely used for non-convex learning tasks such as training of neural networks. The key insight, already…
An implicit Euler discontinuous Galerkin scheme for the Fisher-Kolmogorov-Petrovsky-Piscounov (Fisher-KPP) equation for population densities with no-flux boundary conditions is suggested and analyzed. Using an exponential variable…
We perform a numerical approximation of coherent sets in finite-dimensional smooth dynamical systems by computing singular vectors of the transfer operator for a stochastically perturbed flow. This operator is obtained by solution of a…
We establish sharp long time asymptotic behaviour for a family of entropies to defective Fokker-Planck equations and show that, much like defective finite dimensional ODEs, their decay rate is an exponential multiplied by a polynomial in…
