Two major financial market complexities are transaction costs and uncertain volatility, and we analyze their joint impact on the problem of portfolio optimization. When volatility is constant, the transaction costs optimal investment…
The quadratically regularized optimal transport problem is empirically known to have sparse solutions: its optimal coupling $\pi_{\varepsilon}$ has sparse support for small regularization parameter $\varepsilon$, in contrast to entropic…
Large-deviation upper bounds on compact sets do not, in general, extend to arbitrary closed sets without additional tightness. We show that this obstruction already occurs in static entropic optimal transport. More precisely, we construct a…

As a starting point of our research, we show that, for a fixed order $\gamma\geq 1$, each local minimizer of a rather general nonsmooth optimization problem in Euclidean spaces is either M-stationary in the classical sense (corresponding to…
We focus on the optimal value for various information-theoretical tasks. There are several studies for the asymptotic expansion for these optimal values up to the order $\sqrt{n}$ or $\log n$. However, these expansions have errors of the…
