Nonlinear kinetic Fokker-Planck equations as gradient flows of the free energy
Giovanni Brigati, Guillaume Carlier, Jean Dolbeault +1
We consider nonhomogeneous kinetic equations that involve a free transport operator and a diffusion of porous medium type acting on velocities. The main novelty is a gradient flow…
Variational structures for the Fokker--Planck equation with general Dirichlet boundary conditions
Filippo Quattrocchi
We prove the convergence of a modified Jordan--Kinderlehrer--Otto scheme to a solution to the Fokker--Planck equation in with general -- strictly positive a…
Kinetic Optimal Transport (OTIKIN) -- Part 1: Second-Order Discrepancies Between Probability Measures
Giovanni Brigati, Jan Maas, Filippo Quattrocchi
This is the first part of a general description in terms of mass transport for time-evolving interacting particles systems, at a mesoscopic level. Beyond kinetic theory, our framew…
Asymptotics for Optimal Empirical Quantization of Measures
Filippo Quattrocchi
We investigate the minimal error in approximating a general probability measure on by the uniform measure on a finite set with prescribed cardinality . The e…
