The \emph{Schr\"odinger problem} is obtained by replacing the mean square distance with the relative entropy in the Monge-Kantorovich problem. It was first addressed by Schr\"odinger as the problem of describing the most likely evolution of…

In this work, we study a discrete Schr\"odinger bridge problem with partial marginal observations. A main difficulty compared to the classical Schr\"odinger bridge formulation is that our problem is not strictly convex and standard…

Convergence and stability results for the inverse Born series [Moskow and Schotland, Inverse Problems, 24:065005, 2008] are generalized to mappings between Banach spaces. We show that by restarting the inverse Born series one obtains a…

Stochastic flows of an advective-diffusive nature are ubiquitous in physical sciences. Of particular interest is the problem to reconcile observed marginal distributions with a given prior posed by E. Schrodinger in 1932/32 and known as the…
