We study the quadratically regularized optimal transport (QOT) problem for quadratic cost and compactly supported marginals $\mu$ and $\nu$. It has been empirically observed that the optimal coupling $\pi_\epsilon$ for the QOT problem has…

The quadratically regularized optimal transport problem is empirically known to have sparse solutions: its optimal coupling $\pi_{\varepsilon}$ has sparse support for small regularization parameter $\varepsilon$, in contrast to entropic…
Regularized optimal transport (OT) is now increasingly used as a loss or as a matching layer in neural networks. Entropy-regularized OT can be computed using the Sinkhorn algorithm but it leads to fully-dense transportation plans, meaning…
