Entropic gradient flows on the Wasserstein space via large deviations from thermodynamic limits
In a seminal work, Jordan, Kinderlehrer and Otto proved that the Fokker-Planck equation can be described as a gradient flow of the free energy functional in the Wasserstein space, bringing this way the statistical mechanics point of view on the diffusion phenomenon to the foreground. The aim of this...
