Abstract

Computer Science - Numerical Analysis Mathematics - Analysis of PDEs Mathematics - Numerical Analysis
This paper is concerned with the problem of counting solutions of stationary nonlinear Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) when the PDE is known to admit more than one solution. We suggest tackling the problem via a sampling-based approach. We test our proposed methodology on the McKean-Vlasov PDE, more precisely on the problem of determining the number of stationary solutions of the McKean-Vlasov (or porous medium) equation.
