Gradient flows in asymmetric metric spaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article is concerned with gradient flows in asymmetric metric spaces, that is, spaces with a topology induced by an asymmetric metric. Such asymmetry appears naturally in many applications, e.g., in mathematical models for materials with hysteresis. A framework of asymmetric gradient flows is established under the assumption that the metric is weakly lower semicontinuous in the second argument (and not necessarily on the first), and an existence theorem for gradient flows defined on an asymmetric metric space is given.

Existence of best proximity and fixed points in $G_p$-metric spaces
In this paper, we establish some best proximity point theorems using new proximal contractive mappings in asymmetric $G_{p}$-metric spaces. Our motive is to find an optimal approximate solution of a fixed point equation. We provide best proximity points for cyclic contractive mappings in $G_{p}$-metric spaces. As consequences of these results, we deduce fixed point results in $G_{p}$-metric spa...
متن کاملGlobal Attractors for Gradient Flows in Metric Spaces
We develop the long-time analysis for gradient flow equations in metric spaces. In particular, we consider two notions of solutions for metric gradient flows, namely energy and generalized solutions. While the former concept coincides with the notion of curves of maximal slope of [AGS05], we introduce the latter to include limits of time-incremental approximations constructed via the Minimizing...
متن کاملGradient Flows on Nonpositively Curved Metric Spaces and Harmonic Maps
The notion of gradient flows is generalized to a metric space setting without any linear structure. The metric spaces considered are a generalization of Hilbert spaces, and the properties of such metric spaces are used to set up a finite-difference scheme of variational form. The proof of the Crandall–Liggett generation theorem is adapted to show convergence. The resulting flow generates a stro...
متن کاملModeling solutions with jumps for rate-independent systems on metric spaces
Rate-independent systems allow for solutions with jumps that need additional modeling. Here we suggest a formulation that arises as limit of viscous regularization of the solutions in the extended state space. Hence, our parametrized metric solutions of a rate-independent system are absolutely continuous mappings from a parameter interval into the extended state space. Jumps appear as generaliz...
متن کاملA metric approach to a class of doubly nonlinear evolution equations and applications
This paper deals with the analysis of a class of doubly nonlinear evolution equations in the framework of a general metric space. We propose for such equations a suitable metric formulation (which in fact extends the notion of Curve of Maximal Slope for gradient flows in metric spaces, see [5]), and prove the existence of solutions for the related Cauchy problem by means of an approximation sch...
