Wasserstein metric convergence method for Fokker-Planck equations with point controls

Published

Author(s)

Anthony J. Kearsley, Luca Petrelli

Abstract

Monge-Kantorovich mass transfer theory is employed to obtain an existence and uniqueness result for solutions to Fokker-Planck Equations with time dependent point control. Existence for an approximate problem is established together with a convergence analysis in the Wasserstein distance through equivalence with weak convergence.
