Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the multi-marginal Schrodinger bridge (MSB) problem whose marginal constraints are marginal distributions of a stochastic differential equation (SDE) with a constant diffusion coefficient, and with time dependent drift term. As the number mm of marginal constraints increases, we prove that the solution of the corresponding MSB problem converges to the law of the solution of the SDE at the rate of O(m1)O(m^{-1}), in the sense of KL divergence. Our result extends the work of~\cite{agarwal2024iterated} to the case where the drift of the underlying stochastic process is time-dependent.
