The Gromov-Wasserstein (GW) distance is an extension of the optimal transport problem that allows one to match objects between incomparable spaces. At its core, the GW distance is specified as the solution of a non-convex quadratic program…

In the present paper we investigate the Gromov--Hausdorff distances between a bounded metric space $X$ and so called simplex, i.e., a metric space all whose non-zero distances are the same. In the case when the simplex's cardinality does…

The Gromov--Wasserstein (GW) distance and its fused extension (FGW) are powerful tools for comparing heterogeneous data. Their computation is, however, challenging since both distances are based on non-convex, quadratic optimal transport…
