We optimize the path of a mobile sensor to minimize the posterior uncertainty of a Bayesian inverse problem. Along its path, the sensor continuously takes measurements of the state, which is a physical quantity modeled as the solution of a…

We discuss an algorithm to compute transport maps that couple the uniform measure on $[0,1]^d$ with a specified target distribution $\pi$ on $[0,1]^d$. The primary objectives are either to sample from or to compute expectations w.r.t.…

We study the vanishing-regularization limit of entropically regularized optimal transport (EOT) for the Euclidean distance cost $c(x,y)=\|x-y\|$ in dimension $d>1$. We develop a comprehensive variational convergence framework that entails…
