Nonlocal cross-interaction systems on graphs: Nonquadratic Finslerian structure and nonlinear mobilities

Abstract

We study the evolution of a system of two species with nonlinear mobility and nonlocal interactions on a graph whose vertices are given by an arbitrary, positive measure. To this end, we extend a recently introduced $2$-Wasserstein-type quasi-metric on generalized graphs, which is based on an upwind-interpolation, to the case of two-species systems, concave, nonlinear mobilities, and $p\ne 2$. We provide a rigorous interpretation of the interaction system as a gradient flow in the Finslerian setting, arising from the new quasi-metric.
