We study the information geometry of $\bcc$-divergences from families of costs of the form $\mathsf{c}(x, \barx) =\mathsf{u}(x^{\mathfrak{t}}\barx)$ through the optimal transport point of view. Here, $\mathsf{u}$ is a scalar function with…
Consider the self-map F of the space of real-valued test functions on the line which takes a test function f to the test function sending a real number x to f(f(x))-f(0). We show that F is discontinuous, although its restriction to the…
In this paper, we prove existence of $L^p$-optimal transport maps with $p \in (1,\infty)$ in a class of branching metric spaces defined on $\mathbb{R}^N$. In particular, we introduce the notion of cylinder-like convex function and we prove…
We consider an optimal transport problem on the unit simplex whose solutions are given by gradients of exponentially concave functions and prove two main results. First, we show that the optimal transport is the large deviation limit of a…
In this paper, we study the optimal transport problem induced by separable cost functions. In this framework, transportation can be expressed as the composition of two lower-dimensional movements. Through this reformulation, we prove that…
We disprove a conjecture in Density Functional Theory, relative to multimarginal optimal transport maps with Coulomb cost. We also provide examples of maps satisfying optimality conditions for special classes of data.
We formulate a free probabilistic analog of the Wasserstein manifold on $\mathbb{R}^d$ (the formal Riemannian manifold of smooth probability densities on $\mathbb{R}^d$), and we use it to study smooth non-commutative transport of measure.…
In this paper, we obtain some regularities of the free boundary in optimal transportation with the quadratic cost. Our first result is about the $C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity of the free boundary for optimal partial transport between convex…
We compute exact second-order asymptotics for the cost of an optimal solution to the entropic optimal transport problem in the continuous-to-discrete, or semi-discrete, setting. In contrast to the discrete-discrete or continuous-continuous…
We develop an $\e$-regularity theory at the boundary for a general class of Monge-Amp\`ere type equations arising in optimal transportation. As a corollary we deduce that optimal transport maps between H\"older densities supported on $C^2$…
This paper establishes three minimax theorems for possibly nonconvex functions on Euclidean spaces or on infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. The theorems also guarantee the existence of saddle points. As a by-product, a complete solution…
This is the first of two papers in which we investigate the properties of the displacement functions of automorphisms of free groups (more generally, free products) on Culler-Vogtmann Outer space and its simplicial bordification - the free…
We introduce a constrained optimal transport problem where origins $x$ can only be transported to destinations $y\geq x$. Our statistical motivation is to describe the sharp upper bound for the variance of the treatment effect $Y-X$ given…
In the current book I suggest an off-road path to the subject of optimal transport. I tried to avoid prior knowledge of analysis, PDE theory and functional analysis, as much as possible. Thus I concentrate on discrete and semi-discrete…
Optimal transport induces the Earth Mover's (Wasserstein) distance between probability distributions, a geometric divergence that is relevant to a wide range of problems. Over the last decade, two relaxations of optimal transport have been…
Derivative-free optimization (DFO) is the mathematical study of the optimization algorithms that do not use derivatives. One branch of DFO focuses on model-based DFO methods, where an approximation of the objective function is used to guide…
Let $M$ be a smooth manifold of dimension $2n$, and let $O_{M}$ be the dense open subbundle in $\wedge^{2}T^{\ast}M$ of $2$-covectors of maximal rank. The algebra of $\operatorname*{Diff}M$-invariant smooth functions of first order on…
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…
In this paper we prove two theorems. The first one is a structure result that describes the extrinsic geometry of an embedded surface with constant mean curvature (possibly zero) in a homogeneously regular Riemannian three-manifold, in any…
In this paper, we prove common fixed point results for a self-mappings satisfying an implicit function which is general enough to cover a multitude of known as well as unknown contractions. Our results modify, unify, extend and generalize…
