We study a class of optimization problems in the Wasserstein space (the space of probability measures) where the objective function is nonconvex along generalized geodesics. Specifically, the objective exhibits some difference-of-convex…
As V. I. Arnold observed in the 1960s, the Euler equations of incompressible fluid flow correspond formally to geodesic equations in a group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms. Working in an Eulerian framework, we study incompressible…
We study the two-dimensional Euler equations, damped by a linear term and driven by an additive noise. The existence of weak solutions has already been studied; pathwise uniqueness is known for solutions that have vorticity in $L^\infty$.…
