Conference announcement: PDE & Probability in interaction: functional inequalities, optimal transport and particle systems

Together with Pierre Monmarché (Sorbonne Université), Julien Reygner (École des Ponts ParisTech), and Marielle Simon (Université de Lille), we are delighted to announce the upcoming workshop “PDE & Probability in interaction: functional inequalities, optimal transport and particle systems”.

The event will be held from January 22 to 26, 2024, at CIRM in Marseille.… Read the rest

Preprint: Graph-to-local limit for the nonlocal interaction equation

Together with Antonio Esposito and Georg Heinze, we study a class of nonlocal partial differential equations presenting a tensor-mobility, in space, obtained asymptotically from nonlocal dynamics on localising infinite graphs. Our strategy relies on the variational structure of both equations, being a Riemannian and Finslerian gradient flow, respectively.… Read the rest

Preprint: Variational convergence of the Scharfetter-Gummel scheme

Together with Anastasiia Hraivoronska and Oliver Tse, we explore the convergence of the Scharfetter-Gummel scheme for the aggregation-diffusion equation using a variational approach. Our investigation involves obtaining a novel gradient structure for the finite volume scheme that works consistently for any nonnegative diffusion constant, which allows us to study the discrete-to-continuum and zero-diffusion limits simultaneously.… Read the rest

Published: Error estimates for a finite volume scheme for advection-diffusion equations with rough coefficients

The paper with Víctor Navarro-Fernández on Error estimates for a finite volume scheme for advection-diffusion equations with rough coefficients got published at ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis (M2AN). In the revision (also on arXiv:2201.10411), we arrived at uniform errors estimate in the diffusion constant also in the limit of vanishing diffusion.… Read the rest

Preprint: Covariance-modulated optimal transport and gradient flows

Together with Martin Burger, Franca Hoffmann, Daniel Matthes and Matthias Erbar, we investigate a new dynamical optimal transport distance in which the energy to be minimised is modulated by the covariance matrix of the distribution. Such transport metrics arise naturally in mean-field limits of certain ensemble Kalman methods for solving inverse problems.… Read the rest
