Chayes, L.; Gangbo, W.; Lei, H. K. Hamiltonian ODEs on a space of deficient measures. (English) Zbl 1334.37091 Commun. Math. Sci. 11, No. 1, 1-31 (2013). Summary: We continue the study (initiated in [L. Ambrosio and the second author, Commun. Pure Appl. Math. 61, No. 1, 18–53 (2008; Zbl 1132.37028)]) of Borel measures whose time evolution is provided by an interacting Hamiltonian structure. Here, the principal focus is the development and advancement of deficiency in the measure caused by displacement of mass to infinity in finite time. We introduce – and study in its own right – a regularization scheme based on a dissipative mechanism which naturally degrades mass according to distance traveled (in phase space). Our principal results are obtained based on some dynamical considerations in the form of a condition which forbids mass to return from infinity.
