We propose a model of optimal parallel transport between vector fields on a connection graph, which consists of a weighted graph along with a map from its edges to an orthogonal group. Inspired by the well-known equivalence of 1-Wasserstein…

In the papers (Shvidler, 1985 and 1993, and Shvidler and Karasaki, 1999, 2001, 2005, and 2008) we developed an approach for finding the exactly averaged equations of flow and transport in porous media. We studied for steady state flow with…

This paper defines a new transport metric over the space of non-negative measures. This metric interpolates between the quadratic Wasserstein and the Fisher-Rao metrics and generalizes optimal transport to measures with different masses. It…
