Description for Gradient Flows
Paperback. This book is devoted to a theory of gradient flows in spaces which are not necessarily endowed with a natural linear or differentiable structure. The book originates from lectures by L. Ambrosio at the ETH Zurich in Fall 2001 and contains new results. Series: Lectures in Mathematics. ETH Zurich. Num Pages: 334 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBK. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 240 x 168 x 18. Weight in Grams: 672.
The book is devoted to the theory of gradient flows in the general framework of metric spaces, and in the more specific setting of the space of probability measures, which provide a surprising link between optimal transportation theory and many evolutionary PDE's related to (non)linear diffusion. Particular emphasis is given to the convergence of the implicit time discretization method and to the error estimates for this discretization, extending the well established theory in Hilbert spaces. The book is split in two main parts that can be read independently of each other.
