Diffusive limit of random walks on tessellations via generalized gradient flows

preprint2022arXivOpen access

Abstract

We study asymptotic limits of reversible random walks on tessellations via a variational approach, which relies on a specific generalized-gradient-flow formulation of the corresponding forward Kolmogorov equation. We establish sufficient conditions on sequences of tessellations and jump intensities under which a sequence of random walks converges to a diffusion process with a possibly spatially-dependent diffusion tensor.
