On some non linear evolution systems which are perturbations of Wasserstein gradient flows

Abstract: This paper presents existence and uniqueness results for a class of parabolic systems with non linear diffusion and nonlocal interaction. These systems can be viewed as regular perturbations of Wasserstein gradient flows. Here we extend results known in the periodic case to the whole space and on a smooth bounded domain. Existence is obtained using a semi-implicit Jordan-Kinderlehrer-Otto scheme and uniqueness follows from a displacement convexity argument.
