Jump processes as generalized gradient flows

MA Peletier, R Rossi, G Savaré, O Tse - Calculus of Variations and Partial …, 2022 - Springer
We have created a functional framework for a class of non-metric gradient systems. The
state space is a space of nonnegative measures, and the class of systems includes the …

[HTML][HTML] Cosh gradient systems and tilting

MA Peletier, A Schlichting - Nonlinear Analysis, 2023 - Elsevier
We review a class of gradient systems with dissipation potentials of hyperbolic-cosine type.
We show how such dissipation potentials emerge in large deviations of jump processes …

Variational convergence of the Scharfetter–Gummel scheme to the aggregation-diffusion equation and vanishing diffusion limit

A Hraivoronska, A Schlichting, O Tse - Numerische Mathematik, 2024 - Springer
In this paper, we explore the convergence of the semi-discrete Scharfetter–Gummel scheme
for the aggregation-diffusion equation using a variational approach. Our investigation …

space of probability measures supported on the nodes with respect to the discrete …

Nonlocal-interaction equation on graphs: gradient flow structure and continuum limit

A Esposito, FS Patacchini, A Schlichting… - Archive for Rational …, 2021 - Springer
We consider dynamics driven by interaction energies on graphs. We introduce graph

semigroups on noncommutative $ L^ 2$ spaces. It is known from the work of Cipriani and …

The Scharfetter–Gummel scheme for aggregation–diffusion equations

A Schlichting, C Seis - IMA Journal of Numerical Analysis, 2022 - academic.oup.com
In this paper we propose a finite-volume scheme for aggregation–diffusion equations based
on a Scharfetter–Gummel approximation of the quadratic, nonlocal flux term. This scheme is …
