We introduce two new concepts of convergence of gradient systems $(\mathbf Q, \mathcal E_\varepsilon,\mathcal R_\varepsilon)$ to a limiting gradient system $(\mathbf Q, \mathcal E_0,\mathcal R_0)$. These new concepts are called EDP convergence with tilting' and contact--EDP convergence with tilting'. Both are based on the Energy-Dissipation-Principle (EDP) formulation of solutions of gradient systems, and can be seen as refinements of the Gamma-convergence for gradient flows first introduced…

The convergence of the discrete to continuous Fokker-Planck equation is reprove via the method of Evolutionary $\Gamma$-convergence, i.e., it is passed to the limit at the level of the gradient flow structures, generalising the one-dimensional result obtained by Disser and Liero.
