We show that these equations arise as gradient flows of certain entropy functionals with respect to suitable non-local transportation metrics. This may be seen as a discrete analogue of the Wasserstein gradient flow structure for porous medium equations in ℝn discovered by Otto. We present a one-dimensional counterexample to geodesic convexity and discuss Gromov-Hausdorff convergence to the Wasserstein metric.","lang":"eng"}],"issue":"4","publication":"Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems- Series A","publication_status":"published","title":"Gradient flow structures for discrete porous medium equations","quality_controlled":0,"doi":"10.3934/dcds.2014.34.1355  ","author":[{"last_name":"Erbar","first_name":"Matthias","full_name":"Erbar, Matthias"},{"orcid":"0000-0002-0845-1338","full_name":"Jan Maas","first_name":"Jan","id":"4C5696CE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Maas"}],"main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1212.1129"}],"_id":"2132"}
