چکیده

In this work we present a result on linear diffusion equations with point controls. This is the first partial result obtained along the completion of [5] which includes more general nonlinear diffusion equations. The main focus here is showing how recent variational principles based on Wasserstein metric, used to solve homogeneous diffusion equations, can actually be extended to solving nonhomogeneous equations as well. In particular, we study here an initial value problem from control theory. We consider a Fokker-Planck Equation (FPE) in one dimension with a time dependent point control of this form: 8

Convergence to equilibrium in Wasserstein distance for Fokker-Planck equations

We describe conditions on non-gradient drift diffusion Fokker-Planck equations for its solutions to converge to equilibrium with a uniform exponential rate in Wasserstein distance. This asymptotic behaviour is related to a functional inequality, which links the distance with its dissipation and ensures a spectral gap in Wasserstein distance. We give practical criteria for this inequality and co...

Convergence to Global Equilibrium for Fokker-planck Equations on a Graph and Talagrand-type Inequalities

In recent work, Chow, Huang, Li and Zhou [6] introduced the study of Fokker-Planck equations for a free energy function defined on a finite graph. When N ≥ 2 is the number of vertices of the graph, they show that the corresponding FokkerPlanck equation is a system of N nonlinear ordinary differential equations defined on a Riemannian manifold of probability distributions. The different choices ...

Entropy Dissipation and Wasserstein Metric Methods for the Viscous Burgers’ Equation: Convergence to Diffusive Waves

In this paper we study the large time behavior for the viscous Burgers’ equation with initial data in L(R). In particular, after a time dependent scaling, we provide the optimal rate of convergence in relative entropy and Wasserstein metric, towards an equilibrium state corresponding to a positive diffusive wave. The main tool in our analysis is the reduction of the rescaled Burgers’ equation t...

Variational Formulation of the Fokker–planck Equation with Decay: a Particle Approach

We introduce a stochastic particle system that corresponds to the Fokker–Planck equation with decay in the many-particle limit, and study its large deviations. We show that the large-deviation rate functional corresponds to an energy-dissipation functional in a Mosco-convergence sense. Moreover, we prove that the resulting functional, which involves entropic terms and the Wasserstein metric, is...

On convex Sobolev inequalities and the rate of convergence to equilibrium for Fokker-Planck type equations

It is well known that the analysis of the large-time asymptotics of Fokker-Planck type equations by the entropy method is closely related to proving the validity of convex Sobolev inequalities. Here we highlight this connection from an applied PDE point of view. In our unified presentation of the theory we present new results to the following topics: an elementary derivation of Bakry-Emery type...
