We develop the theory of a metric, which we call the $\nu$-based Wasserstein metric and denote by $W_\nu$, on the set of probability measures $\mathcal P(X)$ on a domain $X \subseteq \mathbb{R}^m$. This metric is based on a slight…

A frame $(x_j)_{j\in J}$ for a Hilbert space $H$ allows for a linear and stable reconstruction of any vector $x\in H$ from the linear measurements $(\langle x,x_j\rangle)_{j\in J}$. However, there are many situations where some information…

We introduce and study a simple model capturing the main features of unbalanced optimal transport. It is based on equipping the conical extension of the group of all diffeomorphisms with a natural metric, which allows a Riemannian…

Given a manifold $M$ and a proper sub-bundle $\Delta\subset TM$, we study homotopy properties of the horizontal base-point free loop space $\Lambda$, i.e. the space of absolutely continuous maps $\gamma:S^1\to M$ whose velocities are…

We examine the optimal mass transport problem in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ between densities having independent compact support by considering the geometry of a continuous interpolating support boundary in space-time within which the mass density…

Moving mesh methods are designed to redistribute a mesh in a regular way. This applied problem can be considered to overlap with the problem of finding a diffeomorphic mapping between density measures. In applications, an off-the-shelf grid…

We present a new method for recovering the cosmological density, velocity, and potential fields from all-sky redshift catalogues. The method is based on an expansion of the fields in orthogonal radial (Bessel) and angular (spherical…

Adapting a homotopy reconstruction theorem for general metric compacta, we show that every countable metric or ultrametric compact space can be topologically reconstructed as the inverse limit of a sequence of finite $T_0$ spaces which are…

Let $M, N$ the be smooth manifolds, $\mathcal{C}^{r}(M,N)$ the space of ${C}^{r}$ maps endowed with weak $C^{r}$ Whitney topology, and $\mathcal{B} \subset \mathcal{C}^{r}(M,N)$ an open subset. It is proved that for $0\leq r<s\leq\infty$…

In this paper, we study the problem of computing a homotopy from a planar curve $C$ to a point that minimizes the area swept. The existence of such a minimum homotopy is a direct result of the solution of Plateau's problem. Chambers and…
