We address a general optimal switching problem over finite horizon for a stochastic system described by a differential equation driven by Brownian motion. The main novelty is the fact that we allow for infinitely many modes (or regimes,…

We consider an extension of the Monge-Kantorovitch optimal transportation problem. The mass is transported along a continuous semimartingale, and the cost of transportation depends on the drift and the diffusion coefficients of the…
Starting from Brenier's relaxed formulation of the incompressible Euler equation in terms of geodesics in the group of measure-preserving diffeomorphisms, we propose a numerical method based on Sinkhorn's algorithm for the entropic…
The Schr\"odinger equation is universally accepted due to its excellent predictions aligning with observed results within its defined conditions. Nevertheless, it does not seem to possess the simplicity of fundamental laws, such as Newton's…

Stochastic flows of an advective-diffusive nature are ubiquitous in physical sciences. Of particular interest is the problem to reconcile observed marginal distributions with a given prior posed by E. Schrodinger in 1932/32 and known as the…
We provide a unifying interpretation of various optimal transport problems as a minimisation of a linear functional over the set of all Choquet representations of a given pair of probability measures ordered with respect to a certain convex…
The celebrated De Giorgi-Nash-Moser theory ensures that solutions to uniformly elliptic or parabolic PDEs are bounded and H\"older continuous, even with merely bounded measurable coefficients. For parabolic SPDEs with transport noise,…
We study optimal transportation with the quadratic cost function in geodesic metric spaces satisfying suitable non-branching assumptions. We introduce and study the notions of slope along curves and along geodesics and we apply the latter…
Lott-Sturm-Villani theory of curvature on geodesic spaces has been extended to discrete graph spaces by C. L{\'e}onard by replacing W2-Wasserstein geodesics by Schr{\"o}odinger bridges in the definition of entropic curvature [23, 25, 24].…
We study the problem of network regression, where one is interested in how the topology of a network changes as a function of Euclidean covariates. We build upon recent developments in generalized regression models on metric spaces based on…
We consider the entropic regularization of discretized optimal transport and propose to solve its optimality conditions via a logarithmic Newton iteration. We show a quadratic convergence rate and validate numerically that the method…
In this work we present a condition for the regularity, in both space and Malliavin sense, of strong solutions to SDEs driven by Brownian motion. We conjecture that this condition is optimal. As a consequence, we are able to improve the…
We consider a Schr\"odinger bridge problem where the Markov process is subject to parameter perturbations, forming an ensemble of systems. Our objective is to steer this ensemble from the initial distribution to the final distribution using…
This paper revisits the rate-distortion theory from the perspective of optimal weak transport, as recently introduced by Gozlan et al. While the conditions for optimality and the existence of solutions are well-understood in the case of…
A quantum finite multi-barrier system, with a periodic potential, is considered and exact expressions for its plane wave amplitudes are obtained using the Transfer Matrix method [10]. This quantum model is then associated with a stochastic…
We study the problem of stopping a Brownian motion at a given distribution $\nu$ while optimizing a reward function that depends on the (possibly randomized) stopping time and the Brownian motion. Our first result establishes that the set…
The notion of entropy-regularized optimal transport, also known as Sinkhorn divergence, has recently gained popularity in machine learning and statistics, as it makes feasible the use of smoothed optimal transportation distances for data…
