Gleichmäßige Verteilung von Punkten in gewissen metrischen Räumen, speziell auf der Kugel.
In this paper we summarize some of the main results of a forthcoming book on this topic, where we examine in detail the theory of curves of maximal slope in a general metric setting, following some ideas introduced in [11, 5], and study in detail the case of the Wasserstein space of probability measures. In the first part we derive new general conditions ensuring convergence of the implicit time discretization scheme to a curve of maximal slope, the uniqueness, and the error estimates. In the second...
