Let $X,Y$ be two finite sets of points having $\#X = m$ and $\#Y = n$ points with $\mu = (1/m) \sum_{i=1}^{m} \delta_{x_i}$ and $\nu = (1/n) \sum_{j=1}^{n} \delta_{y_j}$ being the associated uniform probability measures. A result of…
We study the isomorphism relation on Borel classes of locally compact Polish metric structures. We prove that isomorphism on such classes is always classifiable by countable structures (equivalently: Borel reducible to graph isomorphism),…
We consider a parabolic optimal control problem with an initial measure control. The cost functional consists of a tracking term corresponding to the observation of the state at final time. Instead of a regularization term in the cost…
We study causal optimal transport in continuous time, with Markovian cost, between a finite-state Markov source and a diffusion target. By replacing the source with its conditional law given the observation of the target, we characterize…
Kantorovich distance (or 1-Wasserstein distance) on the probability simplex of a finite metric space is the value of a Linear Programming problem for which a closed-form expression is known in some cases. When the ground distance is defined…
We consider dynamical transport metrics for probability measures on discretisations of a bounded convex domain in $\mathbb{R}^d$. These metrics are natural discrete counterparts to the Kantorovich metric $\mathbb{W}_2$, defined using a…
In deterministic and stochastic control theory, relaxed or randomized control policies allow for versatile mathematical analysis (on continuity, compactness, convexity and approximations) to be applicable with no artificial restrictions on…
Monoid actions of trace monoids over finite sets are powerful models of concurrent systems---for instance they encompass the class of 1-safe Petri nets. We characterise Markov measures attached to concurrent systems by finitely many…
The presentation covers prerequisite results from Topology and Measure Theory. This is then followed by an introduction into couplings and basic definitions for optimal transport. The Kantrorovich problem is then introduced and an existence…
We describe some analogy between optimal transport and the Schr\"odinger problem where the transport cost is replaced by an entropic cost with a reference path measure. A dual Kantorovich type formulation and a Benamou-Brenier type…
In this article, we define the transport dimension of probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^m$ using ramified optimal transportation theory. We show that the transport dimension of a probability measure is bounded above by the Minkowski…
The Skorokhod embedding problem aims to represent a given probability measure on the real line as the distribution of Brownian motion stopped at a chosen stopping time. In this paper, we consider an extension of the optimal Skorokhod…
We investigate Keisler measures in arbitrary theories. Our initial focus is on Borel definability. We show that when working over countable parameter sets in countable theories, Borel definable measures are closed under Morley products and…
We present a novel probabilistic approach for optimal path experimental design. In this approach a discrete path optimization problem is defined on a static navigation mesh, and trajectories are modeled as random variables governed by a…
Matching on covariates is a well-established framework for estimating causal effects in observational studies. The principal challenge stems from the often high-dimensional structure of the problem. Many methods have been introduced to…
We study the optimal transport between two probability measures on the real line, where the transport plans are laws of one-step martingales. A quasi-sure formulation of the dual problem is introduced and shown to yield a complete duality…
We analyze optimal transport problems with additional entropic cost evaluated along curves in the Wasserstein space which join two probability measures $m_0,m_1$. The effect of the additional entropy functional results into an elliptic…
We analyze simultaneous quantum estimations of multiple parameters with postselection measurements in terms of a tradeoff relation. The system, or a sensor, is characterized by a set of parameters, interacts with a measurement apparatus…
