The spatially discrete to continuous limit in the nonlocal quantum diffusion equation
Daniel Matthes, Eva-Maria Rott
We propose and analyse a spatial discretization of the non-local Quantum Drift Diffusion (nlQDD) model by Degond, Mèhats and Ringhofer in one space dimension. With our approach, th…
Diffusive transport on the real line: semi-contractive gradient flows and their discretization
Daniel Matthes, Eva-Maria Rott, André Schlichting
The diffusive transport distance, a novel pseudo-metric between probability measures on the real line, is introduced. It generalizes Martingale optimal transport, and forms a hiera…
A structure preserving discretization for the Derrida-Lebowitz-Speer-Spohn equation based on diffusive transport
Daniel Matthes, Eva-Maria Rott, Giuseppe Savaré +1
We propose a spatial discretization of the fourth-order nonlinear DLSS equation on the circle. Our choice of discretization is motivated by a novel gradient flow formulation with r…
Gradient Flow Structure of a Multidimensional Nonlinear Sixth Order Quantum-Diffusion Equation
Daniel Matthes, Eva-Maria Rott
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 seco…
