The general notion of a stochastic ordering is that one probability distribution is smaller than a second one if the second attaches more probability to higher values than the first. Motivated by recent work on barycentric maps on spaces of…
We define and study a probability monad on the category of complete metric spaces and short maps. It assigns to each space the space of Radon probability measures on it with finite first moment, equipped with the Kantorovich-Wasserstein…
Let $C$ be an open cone in a Banach space equipped with the Thompson metric with closure a normal cone. The main result gives sufficient conditions for Borel probability measures $\mu,\nu$ on $C$ with finite first moment for which $\mu\leq…
The Kantorovich-Rubinshtein metric is an $L^1$-like metric on spaces of probability distributions that enjoys several serendipitous properties. It is complete separable if the underlying metric space of points is complete separable, and in…
The monad of convex sets of probability distributions is a well-known tool for modelling the combination of nondeterministic and probabilistic computational effects. In this work we lift this monad from the category of sets to the category…
We study metric projections onto cones in the Wasserstein space of probability measures, defined by stochastic orders. Dualities for backward and forward projections are established under general conditions. Dual optimal solutions and their…
We show that for a metric space with an even number of points there is a 1-Lipschitz map to a tree-like space with the same matching number. This result gives the first basic version of an unoriented Kantorovich duality. The study of the…
Given a compact metric space $X$, the collection of Borel probability measures on $X$ can be made into a compact metric space via the Kantorovich metric. We partially generalize this well known result to projection-valued measures. In…
The Kantorovich metric provides a way of measuring the distance between two Borel probability measures on a metric space. This metric has a broad range of applications from bioinformatics to image processing, and is commonly linked to the…
We study two topologies $\tau_{KR}$ and $\tau_K$ on the space of measures on a completely regular space generated by Kantorovich--Rubinshtein and Kantorovich seminorms analogous to their classical norms in the case of a metric space. The…
In this short note, we prove that the stochastic order of Radon probability measures on any ordered topological space is antisymmetric. This has been known before in various special cases. We give a simple and elementary proof of the…
According to the fundamental work of Yu.V. Prokhorov, the general theory of stochastic processes can be regarded as the theory of probability measures in complete separable metric spaces. Since stochastic processes depending upon a…
We introduce and study the class of linear transfers between probability distributions and the dual class of Kantorovich operators between function spaces. Linear transfers can be seen as an extension of convex lower semi-continuous…
This study examines a modified Kantorovich approach applied to generalized sampling series. The paper establishes that the approximation order to a function using these modified operators is atleast as good as that achieved by classical…
A partial order on the set of metric measure spaces is defined; it generalizes the Lipschitz order of Gromov. We show that our partial order is closed when metric measure spaces are equipped with the Gromov-weak topology and give a new…
By using the fact that the space of all probability measures with finite support can be somehow completed in two different fashions, one generating the Arens-Eells space and another generating the Kantorovich-Wasserstein (Wasserstein-1)…
In this paper we introduce and study a new sequence of positive linear operators acting on function spaces defined on a convex compact subset. Their construction depends on a given Markov operator, a positive real number and a sequence of…
In this work, we discuss completeness for the lattice orders of first and second order stochastic dominance. The main results state that, both, first and second order stochastic dominance induce Dedekind super complete lattices,…
Ranking distributions according to a stochastic order has wide applications in diverse areas. Although stochastic dominance has received much attention, convex order, particularly in general dimensions, has yet to be investigated from a…
We revisit the mean field parametrization of shallow neural networks, using signed measures on unbounded parameter spaces and duality pairings that take into account the regularity and growth of activation functions. This setting directly…
