Motivated by recent physics papers describing the formation of biological transport networks we study a discrete model proposed by Hu and Cai consisting of an energy consumption function constrained by a linear system on a graph. For the…
Many physical systems -- such as optical waveguide lattices and dense neuronal or vascular networks -- can be modeled by metric graphs, where slender "wires" (edges) support wave or diffusion equations subject to Kirchhoff conditions at the…
We prove discrete-to-continuum convergence for dynamical optimal transport on $\mathbb{Z}^d$-periodic graphs with energy density having linear growth at infinity. This result provides an answer to a problem left open by Gladbach, Kopfer,…
In this paper, we introduce a discrete time-finite state model for pedestrian flow on a graph in the spirit of the Hughes dynamic continuum model. The pedestrians, represented by a density function, move on the graph choosing a route to…
This paper deals with the large-scale behaviour of dynamical optimal transport on $\mathbb{Z}^d$-periodic graphs with general lower semicontinuous and convex energy densities. Our main contribution is a homogenisation result that describes…
In this work, we demonstrate that a functional modeling the self-aggregation of stochastically distributed lipid molecules can be obtained as the $\Gamma$-limit of a family of discrete energies driven by a sequence of independent and…
This work is motivated by the classical discrete elastic rod model by Audoly et al. We derive a discrete version of the Kirchhoff elastic energy for rods undergoing bending and torsion and prove $\Gamma$-convergence to the continuous model.…
We derive an energy-based continuum limit for $\varepsilon$-graphs endowed with a general connectivity functional. We prove that the discrete energy and its continuum counterpart differ by at most $O(\varepsilon)$; the prefactor involves…
Energy-based models for discrete domains, such as graphs, explicitly capture relative likelihoods, naturally enabling composable probabilistic inference tasks like conditional generation or enforcing constraints at test-time. However,…
We use the combination of ideas and results from the theory of graph limits and nonlinear evolution equations to provide a rigorous mathematical justification for taking continuum limit for certain nonlocally coupled networks and to extend…
We study the global existence of solutions of a discrete (ODE based) model on a graph describing the formation of biological transportation networks, introduced by Hu and Cai. We propose an adaptation of this model so that a macroscopic…
Using the theory of $L^p$-graphons (Borgs et al, 2014), we derive and rigorously justify the continuum limit for systems of differential equations on sparse random graphs. Specifically, we show that the solutions of the initial value…
Conservation laws and balance equations for physical network systems typically can be described with the aid of the incidence matrix of a directed graph, and an associated symmetric Laplacian matrix. Some basic examples are discussed, and…
Starting from a stochastic individual-based description of an SIS epidemic spreading on a random network, we study the dynamics when the size $n$ of the network tends to infinity. We recover in the limit an infinite-dimensional…
Graph-limit theory focuses on the convergence of sequences of graphs when the number of nodes becomes arbitrarily large. This framework defines a continuous version of graphs allowing for the study of dynamical systems on very large graphs,…
We study inhomogeneous random graphs with a finite type space. For a natural generalization of the model as a dynamic network-valued process, the paper establishes the following results: (a) Functional central limit theorems for the…
The law of a finite graph is a probability measure induced by the orbits of the graph under its automorphism group. Every law satisfies the intrinsic mass transport principle, which is also known as unimodularity. We discuss the convergence…
We derive a conservation law on a network made of two incoming branches and a single outgoing one from a discrete traffic flow model. The continuous model is obtained from the discrete one by letting the number of vehicles tend to infinity…
Networks are essential models in many applications such as information technology, chemistry, power systems, transportation, neuroscience, and social sciences. In light of such broad applicability, a general theory of dynamical systems on…
The dynamics of spatially-structured networks of $N$ interacting stochastic neurons can be described by deterministic population equations in the mean-field limit. While this is known, a general question has remained unanswered: does…
