We propose a fast and scalable algorithm to project a given density on a set of structured measures defined over a compact 2D domain. The measures can be discrete or supported on curves for instance. The proposed principle and algorithm are…
We develop a geometric formulation of peak statistics in cosmological density fields based on optimal transport and entropy. In this framework, the density field is treated as a probability measure, and its local structure is characterized…
A framework for deriving R\'enyi entropy-power inequalities (EPIs) is presented that uses linearization and an inequality of Dembo, Cover, and Thomas. Simple arguments are given to recover the previously known R\'enyi EPIs and derive new…

We study the estimation of optimal transport (OT) maps between an arbitrary source probability measure and a log-concave target probability measure. Our contributions are twofold. First, we propose a new evolution equation in the set of…
The aim of this short note is to extend the recent variational proof of partial regularity for optimal transport maps to the case of continuous densities.
This article introduces a generalization of the discrete optimal transport, with applications to color image manipulations. This new formulation includes a relaxation of the mass conservation constraint and a regularization term. These two…
A general principle called "conservation of the ellipsoid of concentration" is introduced and a generalized entropic form of order 'alpha' is optimized under this principle. It is shown that this can produce a density which can act as a…
In this paper we consider the mass transportation problem in a bounded domain $\Omega$ where a positive mass f + in the interior is sent to the boundary $\partial\Omega$, appearing for instance in some shape optimization problems, and we…
A probabilistic method for solving the Monge-Kantorovich mass transport problem on $R^d$ is introduced. A system of empirical measures of independent particles is built in such a way that it obeys a doubly indexed large deviation principle…
Porous sediments in geological systems are exposed to stress by the above-laying mass and consequent compaction, which may be significantly nonuniform across the massif. We derive scaling laws for the compaction of sediments of similar…
Majorization is a stochastic ordering relation that compares the relative diversity of probability distributions with numerous applications in econometrics, spectral theory, and ecology. It is well-known that the majorization partial order…
We develop a transport-entropy framework for Gaussian concentration inequalities on the infinite product space $S^{\mathbb Z^d}$, where $S$ is a finite set, in which sensitivity is measured by the $\ell^2$-norm of local oscillations. We…
We construct homogeneous optimal transport maps for the quadratic cost between convex cones with homogeneous, possibly degenerate, densities when the cones satisfy an obliqueness condition. The existence of such maps plays a central role in…
We establish an improved form of the classical logarithmic Sobolev inequality for the Gaussian measure restricted to probability densities which satisfy a Poincar\'e inequality. The result implies a lower bound on the deficit in terms of…
We establish a dimension-free improvement of Talagrand's Gaussian transport-entropy inequality, under the assumption that the measures satisfy a Poincar\'e inequality. We also study stability of the inequality, in terms of relative entropy,…
One of the central objects in the theory of optimal transport is the Brenier map: the unique monotone transformation which pushes forward an absolutely continuous probability law onto any other given law. A line of recent work has analyzed…
Optimal transportation provides a means of lifting distances between points on a geometric domain to distances between signals over the domain, expressed as probability distributions. On a graph, transportation problems can be used to…
