contents A comprehensive methodology for establishing the existence of gradient flows for cross-diffusion systems with respect to suitable energies is proposed. The approach is based on the construction of piecewise-in-time constant approximations via the Jordan-Kinderlehrer-Otto scheme. Compactness of the approximate sequence is obtained using either the flow interchange technique or the five gradient inequality. These methods are illustrated for both parabolic and hyperbolic-parabolic Busenberg-Travis systems, as well as for several of their variants. This paper reviews the results from the literature and discusses additional properties.
