Abstract
This paper deals with the deterministic particle method for the equation of porous media (with p = 2). We establish a convergence rate in the Wasserstein-2 distance between the approximate solution of the associated nonlinear transport equation and the solution of the original one. This seems to be the first quantitative rate for diffusion-velocity particle methods solving diffusive equations and is achieved using a novel commutator estimate for the Wasserstein transport map.
