Wasserstein gradient flows from large deviations of many-particle limits

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study the Fokker-Planck equation as the hydrodynamic limit of a stochastic particle system on one hand and as a Wasserstein gradient flow on the other. We write the rate functional, that characterizes the large deviations from the hydrodynamic limit, in a way that the free energy appears explicitly. Next we use this formulation via the contraction principle to prove that the discreet time rate functional is asymptotically equivalent in the Gamma-convergence sense to the functional derived from the Wasserstein gradient discretization scheme.
