Uniform bound on the first moment for a perturbed advection-diffusion equation
I am studying the solution $u = u(t,x)$ to the following problem on the positive half-line:
$$
\begin{cases}
u_t = u_{xx} + u_x - \frac{1}{1+t}(xu)_x, & \quad t > 0, \, x > 0, \\[2mm]
-u_x = ...

$L^{1}$-convergence to steady states for an advection-diffusion equation on the half real line
I consider the following problem on the half real line
$$
\begin{cases}
u_t = u_{xx} + u_x, & \quad t > 0, \, x > 0, \\[2mm]
-u_x|_{x=0} = u|_{x=0}, & \quad t > 0, \, x = 0, \\[2mm]

Relations between different "propagation of chaos" type results?
My questions come from the paper Logarithmic Sobolev inequalities for some
nonlinear PDE’s written by F. Malrieu (May 2001). The basic set-up is that we have a $N$-particle system $(X^{i,N}_t)_{1\leq ...

Convergence of semi convex functions
Definition. Let $u:\Omega \rightarrow \mathbb{R} $. A function $u$ is called semiconvex if $u=v+w$ for some $v\in C^{1,1}(\Omega)$ and a convex function $w$.
Note. Saying that $u$ is semiconvex is ...
