Under mild regularity assumptions, the transport problem is stable in the following sense: if a sequence of optimal transport plans $\pi_1, \pi_2, \ldots$ converges weakly to a transport plan $\pi$, then $\pi$ is also optimal (between its…

Despite the obvious similarities between the metrics used in topological data analysis and those of optimal transport, an optimal-transport based formalism to study persistence diagrams and similar topological descriptors has yet to come.…

We collect some examples of optimal transports in order to explore the (in)stability of the identity map as an optimal transport. First, we consider density and domain perturbations near regular portions of domains. Second, we investigate…

Optimal transportation problem seeks for a coupling $\pi$ of two probability measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ which minimize the total cost $\int c d\pi$, which is linear in $\pi$. In this paper, we introduce a variation of optimal transportation…

We study a multi-marginal optimal transportation problem with a cost function of the form $c(x_{1}, \ldots,x_{m})=\sum_{k=1}^{m-1}|x_{k}-x_{k+1}|^{2} + |x_{m}- F(x_{1})|^{2}$, where $F: \mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^n$. When $m=4$,…

The notion of entropy-regularized optimal transport, also known as Sinkhorn divergence, has recently gained popularity in machine learning and statistics, as it makes feasible the use of smoothed optimal transportation distances for data…
