The infinitesimal transition probability operator for a continuous-time discrete-state Markov process, $\mathcal{Q}$, can be decomposed into a symmetric and a skew-symmetric parts. As recently shown for the case of diffusion processes,…

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 prove a complete class theorem that characterizes \emph{all} stationary time reversible Markov processes whose finite dimensional marginal distributions (of all orders) are infinitely divisible. Aside from two degenerate cases (iid and…

We study the existence of densities for distributions of piecewise deterministic Markov processes. We also obtain relationships between invariant densities of the continuous time process and that of the process observed at jump times. In…

A Markov operator $P$ on a probability space $(S,\Sigma,\mu)$, with $\mu$ invariant, is called {\it hyperbounded} if for some $1 \le p<q \le \infty$ it maps (continuously) $L^p$ into $L^q$. We deduce from a recent result of Gl\"uck that a…

We study a Markov process with two components: the first component evolves according to one of finitely many underlying Markovian dynamics, with a choice of dynamics that changes at the jump times of the second component. The second…

We are studying stationary random processes with conditional polynomial moments that allow a continuous path modification. Processes with continuous path modification, are important because they are relatively easy to simulate. One does not…

Wasserstein distance induces a natural Riemannian structure for the probabilities on the Euclidean space. This insight of classical transport theory is fundamental for tremendous applications in various fields of pure and applied…

In this paper, we are interested in the time derivative of the Wasserstein distance between the marginals of two Markov processes. As recalled in the introduction, the Kantorovich duality leads to a natural candidate for this derivative. Up…

The problem of existence and uniqueness of absolutely continuous invariant measures for a class of piecewise deterministic Markov processes is investigated using the theory of substochastic semigroups obtained through the Kato--Voigt…

Let $M$ be a $d$-dimensional connected compact Riemannian manifold with boundary $\partial M$, let $V\in C^2(M)$ such that $\mu(dx):=e^{V(x)} d x$ is a probability measure, and let $X_t$ be the diffusion process generated by…

We investigate stability properties of weak supermartingale optimal transport (WSOT) problems on $\mathbb{R}$. For probability measures $\mu,\nu\in\mathcal{P}_r$ satisfying $\mu \leq_{cd} \nu$ (equivalently, $\Pi_S(\mu,\nu)\neq\emptyset$),…

Let $X$ be a $n$-dimensional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, solution of the S.D.E. $$\d X_t = AX_t \d t + \d B_t$$ where $A$ is a real $n\times n$ matrix and $B$ a L\'evy process without Gaussian part. We show that when $A$ is non-singular,…

We address Steinerberger's Wasserstein transport problem on the cube $Q=[0,1]^d$. For every $d\ge2$, we consider a dyadic digital sequence $(x_n)\subset Q$ and prove that every prefix $\{x_1,\dots,x_N\}$ admits an exact equal-mass transport…

We propose a method to approximate continuous-time, continuous-state stochastic processes by a discrete-time Markov chain defined on a nonuniform grid. Our method provides exact moment matching for processes whose first and second moments…

In this paper, we investigate Monge-Kantorovich problems for which the absolute continuity of marginals is relaxed. For $X,Y\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ let $(X,\mathcal{B}_X,\mu)$ and $(Y,\mathcal{B}_Y,\nu)$ be two Borel probability spaces,…

In this paper we introduce some recent progresses on the convergence rate in Wasserstein distance for empirical measures of Markov processes. For diffusion processes on compact manifolds possibly with reflecting or killing boundary…
