The heat equation on manifolds as a gradient flow in the Wasserstein space

Matthias Erbar (2010)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

We study the gradient flow for the relative entropy functional on probability measures over a riemannian manifold. To this aim we present a notion of a riemannian structure on the Wasserstein space. If the Ricci curvature is bounded below we establish existence and contractivity of the gradient flow using a discrete approximation scheme. Furthermore we show that its trajectories coincide with solutions to the heat equation.

Two examples of fattening for the curvature flow with a driving force

Giovanni Bellettini, Maurizio Paolini (1994)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

We provide two examples of a regular curve evolving by curvature with a forcing term, which degenerates in a set having an interior part after a finite time.
