Nonlocal approximation of nonlinear diffusion equations

JA Carrillo, A Esposito, JSH Wu - Calculus of Variations and Partial …, 2024 - Springer
We show that degenerate nonlinear diffusion equations can be asymptotically obtained as a
limit from a class of nonlocal partial differential equations. The nonlocal equations are …

[HTML][HTML] Porous medium equation and cross-diffusion systems as limit of nonlocal interaction

M Burger, A Esposito - Nonlinear Analysis, 2023 - Elsevier
This paper studies the derivation of the quadratic porous medium equation and a class of
cross-diffusion systems from nonlocal interactions. We prove convergence of solutions of a …

Birth–death dynamics for sampling: global convergence, approximations and their asymptotics

Y Lu, D Slepčev, L Wang - Nonlinearity, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Motivated by the challenge of sampling Gibbs measures with nonconvex potentials, we
study a continuum birth–death dynamics. We improve results in previous works (Liu et al …

Nonlocal approximation of slow and fast diffusion

K Craig, M Jacobs, O Turanova - arXiv preprint arXiv:2312.11438, 2023 - arxiv.org
Motivated by recent work on approximation of diffusion equations by deterministic interacting
particle systems, we develop a nonlocal approximation for a range of linear and nonlinear …

A degenerate cross-diffusion system as the inviscid limit of a nonlocal tissue growth model

N David, T Dębiec, M Mandal, M Schmidtchen - SIAM Journal on …, 2024 - SIAM
In recent years, there has been a spike in interest in multiphase tissue growth models.
Depending on the type of tissue, the velocity is linked to the pressure through Stoke's law …

Kernel approximation of Fisher-Rao gradient flows

JJ Zhu, A Mielke - arXiv preprint arXiv:2410.20622, 2024 - arxiv.org
The purpose of this paper is to answer a few open questions in the interface of kernel
methods and PDE gradient flows. Motivated by recent advances in machine learning …

Nonlocal particle approximation for linear and fast diffusion equations

JA Carrillo, A Esposito, J Skrzeczkowski… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
We construct deterministic particle solutions for linear and fast diffusion equations using a
nonlocal approximation. We exploit the $2 $-Wasserstein gradient flow structure of the …

Aggregation-diffusion phenomena: from microscopic models to free boundary problems

I Kim, A Mellet, J Sheung-Him Wu - Active Particles, Volume 4, 2024 - Springer
This chapter reviews (and expands) some recent results on the modeling of aggregation-
diffusion phenomena at various scales, focusing on the emergence of collective dynamics …

An optimization perspective on log-concave sampling and beyond

S Chewi - 2023 - dspace.mit.edu
The primary contribution of this thesis is to advance the theory of complexity for sampling
from a continuous probability density over R^ d. Some highlights include: a new analysis of …

Utilising the clt structure in stochastic gradient based sampling: Improved analysis and faster algorithms

A Das, DM Nagaraj, A Raj - The Thirty Sixth Annual …, 2023 - proceedings.mlr.press
