The problem of approximating the discrete spectra of families of self-adjoint operators that are merely strongly continuous is addressed. It is well-known that the spectrum need not vary continuously (as a set) under strong perturbations.…
Optimal transport (OT) distances are finding evermore applications in machine learning and computer vision, but their wide spread use in larger-scale problems is impeded by their high computational cost. In this work we develop a family of…
The discrete optimal transport (OT) problem, which offers an effective computational tool for comparing two discrete probability distributions, has recently attracted much attention and played essential roles in many modern applications.…
We study the regularity properties of the minimisers of entropic optimal transport providing a natural analogue of the $\varepsilon$-regularity theory of quadratic optimal transport in the entropic setting. More precisely, we show that if…
Optimal transport has found numerous applications across data science, many of which require differentiating the optimal transport map with respect to the underlying probability densities in the Fr\'echet sense. In this work, we show that…
In the setting of optimal transport with $N\ge 2$ marginals, a necessary condition for transport plans to be optimal is that they are $c$-cyclically monotone. For $N=2$ there exist several proofs that in very general settings $c$-cyclical…
We consider the Monge-Kantorovich transport problem in a purely measure theoretic setting, i.e. without imposing continuity assumptions on the cost function. It is known that transport plans which are concentrated on c-monotone sets are…
We prove that, for general cost functions on $\mathbb{R}^n$, or for the cost $d^2/2$ on a Riemannian manifold, optimal transport maps between smooth densities are always smooth outside a closed singular set of measure zero.
We propose an adaptive smoothing algorithm based on Nesterov's smoothing technique in \cite{Nesterov2005c} for solving "fully" nonsmooth composite convex optimization problems. Our method combines both Nesterov's accelerated proximal…
This paper offers a newly created integral approach for operators employing the orthogonal modified Laguerre polynomials and P\u{a}lt\u{a}nea basis. These operators approximate the functions over the interval $[0,\infty)$. Further, the…
We study Sobolev a priori estimates for the optimal transportation $T = \nabla \Phi$ between probability measures $\mu=e^{-V} \ dx$ and $\nu=e^{-W} \ dx$ on $\R^d$. Assuming uniform convexity of the potential $W$ we show that $\int \| D^2…
As shown in [15], under some structural assumptions, working on congested traffic problems in general and increasingly dense networks leads, at the limit by {\Gamma}-convergence, to continuous minimization problems posed on measures on…
We consider optimal transportation of measures on metric and topological spaces in the case where the cost function and marginal distributions depend on a parameter with values in a metric space. The Hausdorff distance between the sets of…

This work deals with the asymptotic distribution of both potentials and couplings of entropic regularized optimal transport for compactly supported probabilities in $\R^d$. We first provide the central limit theorem of the Sinkhorn…
We study stability of optimizers and convergence of Sinkhorn's algorithm for the entropic optimal transport problem. In the special case of the quadratic cost, our stability bounds imply that if one of the two entropic potentials is…
We prove that almost every level set of a Sobolev function in a planar domain consists of points, Jordan curves, or homeomorphic copies of an interval. For monotone Sobolev functions in the plane we have the stronger conclusion that almost…
