This note concerns the paper by Benslimane et Gadhi (JMAA. doi: 10.1016/j.jmaa.2023.127117) where the authors established necessary optimality conditions for an optimization problem (P) governed by a double phase partial di{\S}erential…
We consider the space of probability measures on a discrete set $X$, endowed with a dynamical optimal transport metric. Given two probability measures supported in a subset $Y \subseteq X$, it is natural to ask whether they can be connected…

Given any two probability measures on a Euclidean space with mean 0 and finite variance, we demonstrate that the two probability measures are orthogonal in the sense of Wasserstein geometry if and only if the two spaces by spanned by the…

Here we treat the problem: given a torsion-free connection do its geodesics, as unparametrised curves, coincide with the geodesics of an Einstein metric? We find projective invariants such that the vanishing of these is necessary for the…
In this paper we apply a Bayesian framework to the problem of geodesic curve matching. Given a template curve, the geodesic equations provide a mapping from initial conditions for the conjugate momentum onto topologically equivalent shapes.…
For any configuration of a static plane-symmetric distribution of matter along space-time, there are coordinates where the metric can be put explicitly as a functional of the energy density and pressures. It satisfies Einstein equations as…
A number of researchers have independently introduced topologies on the set of laws of stochastic processes that extend the usual weak topology. Depending on the respective scientific background this was motivated by applications and…
We investigate the existence of periodic solutions for a class of nonlocal continuity equations, which include mean-field equations derived from systems of coupled oscillators. While periodic solutions at the particle level have been…
The problem of comparing probability distributions is at the heart of many tasks in statistics and machine learning. Established comparison methods treat the standard setting that the distributions are supported in the same space. Recently,…
In this paper, we use the class of Wasserstein metrics to study asymptotic properties of posterior distributions. Our first goal is to provide sufficient conditions for posterior consistency. In addition to the well-known Schwartz's…
