Abstract
We study interpolating splines on the Wasserstein-Fisher-Rao (WFR) space of measures with differing total masses. To achieve this, we derive the covariant derivative and the curvature of an absolutely continuous curve in the WFR space. We prove that this geometric notion of curvature is equivalent to a Lagrangian notion of curvature in terms of particles on the cone. Finally, we propose a practical algorithm for computing splines extending the work of arXiv:2010.12101.
