Abstract

This paper gives a framework to study a continuum limit of a gradient flow on a graph where the number of vertices increases in an appropriate way. As examples, we prove the convergence of a discrete total variation flow and a discrete Allen–Cahn flow on discretised tori to their respective continuum limits.
