--- _id: '11739' abstract: - lang: eng text: We consider finite-volume approximations of Fokker--Planck equations on bounded convex domains in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and study the corresponding gradient flow structures. We reprove the convergence of the discrete to continuous Fokker--Planck equation via the method of evolutionary $\Gamma$-convergence, i.e., we pass to the limit at the level of the gradient flow structures, generalizing the one-dimensional result obtained by Disser and Liero. The proof is of variational nature and relies on a Mosco convergence result for functionals in the discrete-to-continuum limit that is of independent interest. Our results apply to arbitrary regular meshes, even though the associated discrete transport distances may fail to converge to the Wasserstein distance in this generality. acknowledgement: This work was supported by the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme grant 716117 and by the AustrianScience Fund (FWF) through grants F65 and W1245. article_processing_charge: No article_type: original arxiv: 1 author: - first_name: Dominik L full_name: Forkert, Dominik L id: 35C79D68-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Forkert - first_name: Jan full_name: Maas, Jan id: 4C5696CE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Maas orcid: 0000-0002-0845-1338 - first_name: Lorenzo full_name: Portinale, Lorenzo id: 30AD2CBC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Portinale citation: ama: Forkert DL, Maas J, Portinale L.

We assume that a diffuse interface already has developed and that it is in contact with the boundary ∂Ω. The boundary condition is designed in such a way that the limit problem is given by the mean curvature flow with constant α-contact angle. For α close to 90° we prove a local in time convergence result for well-prepared initial data for times when a smooth solution to the limit problem exists. Based on the latter we construct a suitable curvilinear coordinate system and carry out a rigorous asymptotic expansion for the Allen--Cahn equation with the nonlinear Robin boundary condition. Moreover, we show a spectral estimate for the corresponding linearized Allen--Cahn operator and with its aid we derive strong norm estimates for the difference of the exact and approximate solutions using a Gronwall-type argument. article_processing_charge: No article_type: original arxiv: 1 author: - first_name: Helmut full_name: Abels, Helmut last_name: Abels - first_name: Maximilian full_name: Moser, Maximilian id: a60047a9-da77-11eb-85b4-c4dc385ebb8c last_name: Moser citation: ama: Abels H, Moser M.
