Building on a work by Alm, we consider a model of weighted self-avoiding walks on a lattice and develop a method for computing upper bounds on the corresponding weighted connective constant, which we implement in a publicly available…

Langevin dynamics are widely used in sampling high-dimensional, non-Gaussian distributions whose densities are known up to a normalizing constant. In particular, there is strong interest in unadjusted Langevin algorithms (ULA), which…

We deal with the problem of the adaptive estimation of the $\mathbb{L}_2$-norm of a probability density on $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\geq 1$, from independent observations. The unknown density is assumed to be uniformly bounded and to belong to the…

In this work, we study long-time wave transport in correlated and uncorrelated disordered 2D arrays. When a separation of dimensions is applied to the model, we find that the predicted 1D random dimer phenomenology also appears in so-called…

Multimarginal optimal transport (MOT) has gained increasing attention in recent years, notably due to its relevance in machine learning and statistics, where one seeks to jointly compare and align multiple probability distributions. This…

We adapt the problem of continuous congested optimal transport to the Heisenberg group, equipped with a sub-Riemannian metric. Originally introduced in the Euclidean setting by Carlier, Jimenez, and Santambrogio as a path-dependent variant…

We investigate the problem of pairwise multi-marginal optimal transport, that is, given a collection of probability distributions $\{P_\alpha\}$ on a Polish space $\mathcal{X}$, to find a coupling $\{X_\alpha\}$, $X_\alpha\sim P_\alpha$,…

We prove a version of the Hopf-Rinow-theorem with respect to path metrics on discrete spaces. The novel aspect is that we do not a priori assume local finiteness but isolate a local finiteness type condition, called essential local…
