In this article we study a variational problem providing a way to extend for all times minimizing geodesics connecting two given probability measures, in the Wasserstein space. This is simply obtained by allowing for negative coefficients…
We develop Brenier theorems on iterated Wasserstein spaces. For a separable Hilbert space $H$ and $N\geq 1$, we construct a full-support probability $\Lambda$ on $P_2^{N}(H)= P_2(... P_2(H)...)$ that is transport regular: for every $Q$ with…
