These equations have a natural gradient flow structure in the space of probability measures endowed with the quadratic Wasserstein distance. Exploiting this structure, in particular through the so-called JKO scheme, we introduce a notion of weak solutions, prove existence, uniqueness, BV and H^1 estimates, L^1 weighted contractivity, Harnack inequalities, and exponential convergence to a steady state.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-08-23T13:31:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "long-time behaviour", "natural gradient flow structure", "probability measures", "well-posedness", "quadratic wasserstein distance" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
