A Trotter product formula for gradient flows in metric spaces

Abstract

We prove a Trotter product formula for gradient flows in metric spaces. This result is applied to establish convergence in the L2-Wasserstein metric of the splitting method for some Fokker-Planck equations and porous medium type equations perturbed by a potential.
