We consider the problem of comparing several samples of stochastic processes with respect to their second-order structure, and describing the main modes of variation in this second order structure, if present. These tasks can be seen as an…
We present a general (i.e., independent of the underlying model) interpolation technique based on optimal transportation of Gaussian models for parametric advection-dominated problems. The approach relies on a scalar testing function to…
This paper presents a novel two-step approach for the fundamental problem of learning an optimal map from one distribution to another. First, we learn an optimal transport (OT) plan, which can be thought as a one-to-many map between the two…
We develop a full theory for the new class of Optimal Entropy-Transport problems between nonnegative and finite Radon measures in general topological spaces. They arise quite naturally by relaxing the marginal constraints typical of Optimal…
We prove an Hopf-Lax-Oleinik formula for the solutions of some Hamilton- Jacobi equations on a general metric space. As a first consequence, we show in full gener- ality that the log-Sobolev inequality is equivalent to an hypercontractivity…
Optimal transport (OT) theory provides a principled framework for modeling mass movement in applications such as mobility, logistics, and economics. Classical formulations, however, generally ignore capacity limits that are intrinsic in…
Grogan et al [11,12] have recently proposed a solution to colour transfer by minimising the Euclidean distance L2 between two probability density functions capturing the colour distributions of two images (palette and target). It was shown…
The stochastic $p$-Laplace equation with multiplicative transport noise is studied on the torus $\mathbb T^d\, (d\geq 2)$. It is shown that the dissipation is enhanced by transport noise in both the averaged sense and the pathwise sense.
In this paper, we establish some sharp inequalities between the volume and the integral of the $k$-th mean curvature for $k+1$-convex domains in the Euclidean space. The results generalize the classical Alexandrov-Fenchel inequalities for…
We study the compressible Navier-Stokes system driven by physically relevant transport noise, where the noise influences both the continuity and momentum equations. Our approach is based on transforming the system into a partial…
These notes constitute a sort of Crash Course in Optimal Transport Theory. The different features of the problem of Monge-Kantorovitch are treated, starting from convex duality issues. The main properties of space of probability measures…
In recent years, Darcy scale transport in porous media was characterized to be Fickian or non-Fickian due to the homogeneity or heterogeneity of the porous medium conductivity layout. Yet, evidence shows that preferential flows that funnel…
Inequalities between transportation costs and Fisher information are known to characterize certain concentration properties of Markov processes around their invariant measures. This note provides a new characterization of the quadratic…
We describe a competetive equillibrium in a railway cargo transportation model. We reduce the problem of finding this equillibrium to the solution of to mutually dual convex optimization problems. According to L.V. Kantorvich we interpret…
We present a range of applications of localisation for constrained transports for pairs of probability measures in order with respect to a lattice cone. These examples comprise irreducible convex paving for martingale transports in…
Porous and heterogeneous materials are found in many applications from composites, membranes, chemical reactors, and other engineered materials to biological matter and natural subsurface structures. In this work we propose an integrated…
Optimal transport (OT) theory focuses, among all maps $T:\mathbb{R}^d\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^d$ that can morph a probability measure onto another, on those that are the ``thriftiest'', i.e. such that the averaged cost $c(x, T(x))$ between…
Optimal transport (OT) defines a powerful framework to compare probability distributions in a geometrically faithful way. However, the practical impact of OT is still limited because of its computational burden. We propose a new class of…
We prove a central limit theorem for the entropic transportation cost between subgaussian probability measures, centered at the population cost. This is the first result which allows for asymptotically valid inference for entropic optimal…
In this work, we connect the problem of bounding the expected generalisation error with transportation-cost inequalities. Exposing the underlying pattern behind both approaches we are able to generalise them and go beyond Kullback-Leibler…
