In this paper we provide a variational characterisation for a class of non-linear evolution equations with constant non-negative Dirichlet boundary conditions on a bounded domain as gradient flows in the space of non-negative measures. The relevant geometry is given by the modified Wasserstein distance introduced by Figalli and Gigli that allows for a change of mass by letting the boundary act as a reservoir. We give a dynamic formulation of this distance as an action minimisation problem for curves of non-negative measures satisfying a continuity equation in the spirit of Benamou-Brenier. Then we characterise solutions to non-linear diffusion equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions as metric gradient flows of internal energy functionals in the sense of curves of maximal slope.

    The killed Dirichlet heat semigroup is Lipschitz in W_{b,1}, exactly 1/p-Hölder on mass sublevels in W_{b,p} for p>1, and discontinuous at zero, which obstructs EVI_λ realizations in W_{b,2}.
