We introduce and prove convergence of a damped Newton algorithm to approximate solutions of the semi-discrete optimal transport problem with storage fees, corresponding to a problem with hard capacity constraints. This is a variant of the…
A prominent model for transportation networks is branched transport, which seeks the optimal transportation scheme to move material from a given initial to a final distribution. The cost of the scheme encodes a higher transport efficiency…
Optimal transport (OT) based data analysis is often faced with the issue that the underlying cost function is (partially) unknown. This paper is concerned with the derivation of distributional limits for the empirical OT value when the cost…
We study an optimization problem related to the approximation of given data by a linear combination of transformed modes. In the simplest case, the optimization problem reduces to a minimization problem well-studied in the context of proper…
We compute exact second-order asymptotics for the cost of an optimal solution to the entropic optimal transport problem in the continuous-to-discrete, or semi-discrete, setting. In contrast to the discrete-discrete or continuous-continuous…
We present a primal-dual dynamical formulation of the multi-marginal optimal transport problem for (semi-)convex cost functions. Even in the two-marginal setting, this formulation applies to cost functions not covered by the classical…
We introduce a new second order stochastic algorithm to estimate the entropically regularized optimal transport cost between two probability measures. The source measure can be arbitrary chosen, either absolutely continuous or discrete,…
In this work, we construct a novel numerical method for solving the multi-marginal optimal transport problems with Coulomb cost. This type of optimal transport problems arises in quantum physics and plays an important role in understanding…
Efficient computation of the optimal transport distance between two distributions serves as an algorithm subroutine that empowers various applications. This paper develops a scalable first-order optimization-based method that computes…
The time-discretized, spatially continuous generalized Euler equations are a prototype example of multi-marginal optimal transport, yet the question whether they exhibit mass-splitting (or equivalently, whether they have solutions that are…
We introduce a new technique, which we call the boundary method, for solving semi-discrete optimal transport problems with a wide range of cost functions. The boundary method reduces the effective dimension of the problem, thus improving…
In many applications such as color image processing, data has more than one piece of information associated with each spatial coordinate, and in such cases the classical optimal mass transport (OMT) must be generalized to handle…
We address optimal placement of vehicles with simple motion to intercept a mobile target that arrives stochastically on a line segment. The optimality of vehicle placement is measured through a cost function associated with intercepting the…
In this work, we solve a discrete optimal transport problem in a nonuniform environment. To solve the optimal transport problem, we build the cost matrix and then use classical solvers for discrete optimal transport. The challenge is to…
This paper connects discrete optimal transport to a certain class of multi-objective optimization problems. In both settings, the decision variables can be organized into a matrix. In the multi-objective problem, the notion of Pareto…
We investigate the semi-discrete Optimal Transport (OT) problem, where a continuous source measure $\mu$ is transported to a discrete target measure $\nu$, with particular attention to the OT map approximation. In this setting, Stochastic…
The main result of this paper is the existence of an optimal transport map $T$ between two given measures $\mu$ and $\nu$, for a cost which considers the maximal oscillation of $T$ at scale $\delta$, given by…
We investigate the estimation of an optimal transport map between probability measures on an infinite-dimensional space and reveal its minimax optimal rate. Optimal transport theory defines distances within a space of probability measures,…
We introduce the problem of transporting vector-valued distributions. In this, a salient feature is that mass may flow between vectorial entries as well as across space (discrete or continuous). The theory relies on a first step taken to…
Optimal transport has been used to define bijective nonlinear transforms and different transport-related metrics for discriminating data and signals. Here we briefly describe the advances in this topic with the main applications and…
