A classical result of Strassen asserts that given probabilities $\mu, \nu$ on the real line which are in convex order, there exists a \emph{martingale coupling} with these marginals, i.e.\ a random vector $(X_1,X_2)$ such that $X_1\sim \mu,…
We study the structural properties of multi-period martingale optimal transport (MOT). We develop new tools to address these problems, and use them to prove several uniqueness and structural results on three-period martingale optimal…
We introduce Triangular-Reference Schr\"odinger Bridges for Time Series (TR-SBTS), a conservative extension of the SBTS framework in which the Brownian reference is replaced by an intervalwise frozen, possibly degenerate diffusion…
This paper develops a computational framework for Multi-Period Martingale Optimal Transport (MMOT), addressing convergence rates, algorithmic efficiency, and financial calibration. Our contributions include: (1) Theoretical analysis: We…
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…
We revisit the work of Mitter and Newton on an information-theoretic interpretation of Bayes' formula through the Gibbs variational principle. This formulation allowed them to pose nonlinear estimation for diffusion processes as a problem…
We use the Wigner transformation and asymptotic analysis to systematically derive the semi-classical model for the Schr\"{o}dinger equation in arbitrary spatial dimensions, with any periodic structure. Our particular emphasis lies in…
We give a characterization of optimal transport plans for a variant of the usual quadratic transport cost introduced in [33]. Optimal plans are composition of a deterministic transport given by the gradient of a continuously differentiable…
This paper's aim is threefold. First, using Feynman's path approach to the derivation of theclassical Schr{\"o}dinger's equation in [6] and by introducing a slight path (or wave) dependency ofthe action, we derive a new class of equations…
Given two probability measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ in "convex order" on $\R^d$, we study the profile of one-step martingale plans $\pi$ on $\R^d\times \R^d$ that optimize the expected value of the modulus of their increment among all…
We propose the Bayesian bridge estimator for regularized regression and classification. Two key mixture representations for the Bayesian bridge model are developed: (1) a scale mixture of normals with respect to an alpha-stable random…
In 1931/32, Schroedinger studied a hot gas Gedankenexperiment, an instance of large deviations of the empirical distribution and an early example of the so-called maximum entropy inference method. This so-called Schroedinger bridge problem…
Our main result is to establish stability of martingale couplings: suppose that $\pi$ is a martingale coupling with marginals $\mu, \nu$. Then, given approximating marginal measures $\tilde \mu \approx \mu, \tilde \nu\approx \nu$ in convex…
For two measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ that are in convex-decreasing order, Nutz and Stebegg (Canonical supermartingale couplings, Ann. Probab., 46(6):3351--3398, 2018) studied the optimal transport problem with supermartingale constraints and…
In 1966, Edward Nelson presented an interesting derivation of the Schrodinger equation using Brownian motion. Recently, this derivation is linked to the theory of optimal transport, which shows that the Schrodinger equation is a Hamiltonian…
Fractional Wiener--Weierstrass bridges are a class of Gaussian processes that arise from replacing the trigonometric function in the construction of classical Weierstrass functions by a fractional Brownian bridge. We investigate the sample…
We provide a model-free pricing-hedging duality in continuous time. For a frictionless market consisting of $d$ risky assets with continuous price trajectories, we show that the purely analytic problem of finding the minimal superhedging…
We consider the problem of steering a linear stochastic system between two end-point degenerate Gaussian distributions in finite time. This accounts for those situations in which some but not all of the state entries are uncertain at the…
The motion of a ball through an appropriate lattice of round obstacles models the behavior of a Brownian particle and can be used to describe measurement on a macro system. On another hand, such motion is chaotic and a known conjecture…
The purpose of this note is to provide a summary of the recent work of the authors on two variations of the pointwise convergence problem for the solutions to the fractional Schr\"odinger equations; convergence along a tangential line and…
