We study the convergence of the transport plans $\gamma_\epsilon$ towards $\gamma_0$ as well as the cost of the entropy-regularized optimal transport $(c,\gamma_\epsilon)$ towards $(c,\gamma_0)$ as the regularization parameter $\epsilon$…

We consider the optimal transport problem over convex costs arising from optimal control of linear time-invariant(LTI) systems when the initial and target measures are assumed to be supported on the set of equilibrium points of the LTI…

In the field of optimal transport, two prominent subfields face each other: (i) unregularized optimal transport, "\`a-la-Kantorovich", which leads to extremely sparse plans but with algorithms that scale poorly, and (ii)…

We study the entropic regularizations of optimal transport problems under suitable summability assumptions on the point-wise transport cost. These summability assumptions already appear in the literature. However, we show that the weakest…

We show that a certain entropy-like function is convex, under an optimal transport problem that is adapted to Ricci flow. We use this to reprove the monotonicity of Perelman's reduced volume.

We investigate the small regularization limit of entropic optimal transport when the cost function is the Euclidean distance in dimensions $d > 1$, and the marginal measures are absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure.…

The classical (overdamped) Langevin dynamics provide a natural algorithm for sampling from its invariant measure, which uniquely minimizes an energy functional over the space of probability measures, and which concentrates around the…

We prove existence of an optimal transport map in the Monge-Kantorovich problem associated to a cost $c(x,y)$ which is not finite everywhere, but coincides with $|x-y|^2$ if the displacement $y-x$ belongs to a given convex set $C$ and it is…
