--- _id: '10022' abstract: - lang: eng text: We consider finite-volume approximations of Fokker-Planck equations on bounded convex domains in 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 Γ-convergence, i.e., we pass to the limit at the level of the gradient flow structures, generalising 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 is supported by the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement No 716117) and by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF), grants No F65 and W1245. article_number: '2008.10962' article_processing_charge: No 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.
