Take a $\mathcal C^2$ potential $V:\mathbb R^d\to \mathbb R$, and assume that it is bounded from below (say $\min V=0$ for simplicity, so that $V\geq 0$). Consider the autonomous gradient-flow $$ \dot ...

Consider a second order gradient-like system with linear damping $$\ddot{x}+\dot{x}+\nabla f(x)=0, \quad x(0)=x_0,\quad\dot{x}(0)=0$$ Suppose $f\in C^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$ and $\inf_{x\in\mathbb{R}^n}f(x)&...

Let $E$ be a $\mathbb R$-Banach space, $\tau>0$ and $v:[0,\tau]\times E\to E$ such that$^1$ $$x\mapsto t\mapsto v(t,x)\tag1$$ belongs to $C^{0,\:1}(E,C^0([0,\tau],E))$. This is enough to ensure ...

I was looking into gradient flows and their particle representations, mostly in the context of probability. A simple example of this is the continuity equation. Consider evolving a sample $x \sim \...

Sounds like a trivial question, but could not find any answer other than the fact that there are many ways to define it. My problem is this: I look at different elevation maps, some with sharp ...

Theorem: Suppose ${\bf g} :\mathbb{R}^n \mapsto \mathbb{R}^n$ is continuously differentiable, there exists a set $\mathcal{A} \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ such that $\bf g$ is uniformly Lipschitz on $\...
