## Relative entropy and hydrodynamics of Ginzburg-Landau models.(English)Zbl 0725.60120

Summary: We prove the hydrodynamic limit of Ginzburg-Landau models by considering relative entropy and its rate of change with respect to local Gibbs states. This provides a new understanding of the role played by relative entropy in the hydrodynamics of interacting particle systems.
