This article presents a new class of distances between arbitrary nonnegative Radon measures inspired by optimal transport. These distances are defined by two equivalent alternative formulations: (i) a dynamic formulation defining the…
The dual attainment of the Monge--Kantorovich transport problem is analyzed in a general setting. The spaces $X, Y$ are assumed to be polish and equipped with Borel probability measures $\mu$ and $\nu$. The transport cost function $c:\XY…
In this work we derive a convex dual representation for increasing convex functionals on a space of real-valued Borel measurable functions defined on a countable product of metric spaces. Our main assumption is that the functionals fulfill…
We show that in a locally compact complete $CAT(0)$ space satisfying positive angles property and a disintegration regularity for its canonical Hausdorff measure, there exists a unique optimal transport map that push-forwards a given…
We introduce a constrained optimal transport problem where origins $x$ can only be transported to destinations $y\geq x$. Our statistical motivation is to describe the sharp upper bound for the variance of the treatment effect $Y-X$ given…
We introduce a new stochastic algorithm for solving entropic optimal transport (EOT) between two absolutely continuous probability measures $\mu$ and $\nu$. Our work is motivated by the specific setting of Monge-Kantorovich quantiles where…
Optimal transport is the problem of designing a joint distribution for two random variables with fixed marginals. In virtually the entire literature on this topic, the objective is to minimize expected cost. This paper is the first to study…
We explore the geometry of the Bures-Wasserstein space for potentially degenerate Gaussian measures on a separable Hilbert space. In this general setting, the optimal transport map is formally the subgradient of a convex function that is…
We consider regularised quadratic optimal transport with subquadratic polynomial or entropic regularisation. In both cases, we prove interior Lipschitz-estimates on a transport-like map and interior gradient Lipschitz-estimates on the…
We investigate the continuous optimal transport problem in the so-called Kantorovich form, i.e. given two Radon measures on two compact sets, we seek an optimal transport plan which is another Radon measure on the product of the sets that…
We establish a Kantorovich duality for the pseudometric $\mathcal{E}_\hbar$ introduced in [F. Golse, T. Paul, Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 223 (2017), 57--94], obtained from the usual Monge-Kantorovich distance $d_{MK,2}$ between classical…
We address optimal control problems on the space of measures for an objective containing a smooth functional and an optimal transport regularization. That is, the quadratic Monge-Kantorovich distance between a given prior measure and the…
We study the quadratically regularized optimal transport (QOT) problem for quadratic cost and compactly supported marginals $\mu$ and $\nu$. It has been empirically observed that the optimal coupling $\pi_\epsilon$ for the QOT problem has…
We analyze several problems of Optimal Transport Theory in the setting of Ergodic Theory. In a certain class of problems we consider questions in Ergodic Transport which are generalizations of the ones in Ergodic Optimization. Another class…
This paper studies distributional model risk in marginal problems, where each marginal measure is assumed to lie in a Wasserstein ball centered at a fixed reference measure with a given radius. Theoretically, we establish several…
Quantization provides a very natural way to preserve the convex order when approximating two ordered probability measures by two finitely supported ones. Indeed, when the convex order dominating original probability measure is compactly…
The presentation covers prerequisite results from Topology and Measure Theory. This is then followed by an introduction into couplings and basic definitions for optimal transport. The Kantrorovich problem is then introduced and an existence…
We establish a variant of Monge--Kantorovich duality for a constrained optimal transport problem with a continuum of agents, a finite set of alternatives, and general linear constraints. As an application, we revisit the large-market model…
We use a Korevaar-style maximum principle approach to show the following: Fixing a $C^{2}$ bound on the log densities of a set of smooth measures, there is a quantifiably-sized Wasserstein neighborhood over which all pairs of such measures…
Stability of the value function and the set of minimizers w.r.t. the given data is a desirable feature of optimal transport problems. For the classical Kantorovich transport problem, stability is satisfied under mild assumptions and in…
