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."}],"ec_funded":1,"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.","oa_version":"Preprint","date_published":"2020-08-25T00:00:00Z","external_id":{"arxiv":["2008.10962"]},"author":[{"first_name":"Dominik L","last_name":"Forkert","id":"35C79D68-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Forkert, Dominik L"},{"first_name":"Jan","last_name":"Maas","id":"4C5696CE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-0845-1338","full_name":"Maas, Jan"},{"full_name":"Portinale, Lorenzo","id":"30AD2CBC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Portinale","first_name":"Lorenzo"}],"date_created":"2021-09-17T10:57:27Z","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_updated":"2023-09-07T13:31:05Z","article_processing_charge":"No","user_id":"8b945eb4-e2f2-11eb-945a-df72226e66a9","title":"Evolutionary Γ-convergence of entropic gradient flow structures for Fokker-Planck equations in multiple dimensions","page":"33","year":"2020","day":"25","_id":"10022","project":[{"grant_number":"716117","_id":"256E75B8-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"Optimal Transport and Stochastic Dynamics","call_identifier":"H2020"},{"_id":"fc31cba2-9c52-11eb-aca3-ff467d239cd2","grant_number":"F6504","name":"Taming Complexity in Partial Differential Systems"}]}
