Existence and Uniqueness of the Gradient Flow of the Entropy in the Space of Probability Measures

چکیده
After a brief introduction on gradient flows in metric spaces and on geodesically convex functionals, we give an account of the proof (following the outline of [3, 7]) of the existence and uniqueness of the gradient flow of the Entropy in the space of Borel probability measures over a compact geodesic metric space with Ricci curvature bounded from below.

An extension theorem for finite positive measures on surfaces of finite dimensional unit balls in Hilbert spaces
A consistency criteria is given for a certain class of finite positive measures on the surfaces of the finite dimensional unit balls in a real separable Hilbert space. It is proved, through a Kolmogorov type existence theorem, that the class induces a unique positive measure on the surface of the unit ball in the Hilbert space. As an application, this will naturally accomplish the work of Kante...
متن کاملExistence and uniqueness of the solution for a general system of operator equations in $b-$metric spaces endowed with a graph
The purpose of this paper is to present some coupled fixed point results on a metric space endowed with two $b$-metrics. We shall apply a fixed point theorem for an appropriate operator on the Cartesian product of the given spaces endowed with directed graphs. Data dependence, well-posedness and Ulam-Hyers stability are also studied. The results obtained here will be applied to prove the existe...
متن کاملInfinite-dimensional porous media equations and optimal transportation
In this paper we study a class of non linear diffusion equations in a Hilbert space X, ∂tμt −∇ · (∇(L ◦ ρt)γ) = 0 in X × (0,+∞), with respect to a log-concave reference probability measure γ. We obtain existence, uniqueness and stability properties, in the framework of gradient flows in spaces of probability measures.
متن کاملFixed point theory in generalized orthogonal metric space
In this paper, among the other things, we prove the existence and uniqueness theorem of fixed point for mappings on a generalized orthogonal metric space. As a consequence of this, we obtain the existence and uniqueness of fixed point of Cauchy problem for the first order differential equation.
متن کاملMeasures of maximal entropy
We extend the results of Walters on the uniqueness of invariant measures with maximal entropy on compact groups to an arbitrary locally compact group. We show that the maximal entropy is attained at the left Haar measure and the measure of maximal entropy is unique.
