I am trying to compute the first variation of the functional $$\mathcal F(\rho) = \int_{\Omega} R(x;\rho) d\rho(x)$$ where $R$ is some function of $x$ that also depends on $\rho$. Here $\rho$ is a ...

It is known [1, proposition 3.32] and a classical trick in PDEs that, in any uniformly convex Banach space $X$, weak convergence $x_n\rightharpoonup x$ together with convergence of the norm $\|x_n\|_X\...

$\newcommand{\R}{\mathbb R}$ If $\Omega\subset \R^d$ is a convex domain it is well-known that the relative entropy $$ \mathcal H(\rho)= \int_{\Omega}\rho\log\rho \ \mathrm{d}x \qquad \mbox{for }\rho=...

$\newcommand{\R}{\mathbb R}$Take $\Omega\subset \R^d$ bounded, convex, and smooth. Consider the optimal transport problem with cost $c(x,y)=\lvert x-y\rvert^2$, leading to the quadratic Wassersein ...
