This article connects the theory of extremal doubly stochastic measures to the geometry and topology of optimal transportation. We begin by reviewing an old question (# 111) of Birkhoff in probability and statistics [4], which is to give a…
We study optimization problems whereby the optimization variable is a probability measure. Since the probability space is not a vector space, many classical and powerful methods for optimization (e.g., gradients) are of little help. Thus,…
