We investigate the convergence rate of the optimal entropic cost $v_\varepsilon$ to the optimal transport cost as the noise parameter $\varepsilon \downarrow 0$. We show that for a large class of cost functions $c$ on $\mathbb{R}^d\times…

The goal of Sparse Convex Optimization is to optimize a convex function $f$ under a sparsity constraint $s\leq s^*\gamma$, where $s^*$ is the target number of non-zero entries in a feasible solution (sparsity) and $\gamma\geq 1$ is an…
