The problem of biclustering consists of the simultaneous clustering of rows and columns of a matrix such that each of the submatrices induced by a pair of row and column clusters is as uniform as possible. In this paper we approximate the…

If $M$ is a set of nonsingular $k\times k$ matrices then for many pairs of matrices, $A,B\in M,$ the sum is nonsingular, $\det(A+B)\neq 0.$ We prove a more general statement on nonsingular sums with an application.

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…

This work considers the problem of computing distances between structured objects such as undirected graphs, seen as probability distributions in a specific metric space. We consider a new transportation distance (i.e. that minimizes a…

We develop the theory of a metric, which we call the $\nu$-based Wasserstein metric and denote by $W_\nu$, on the set of probability measures $\mathcal P(X)$ on a domain $X \subseteq \mathbb{R}^m$. This metric is based on a slight…

In this paper we propose a gauge-theoretic approach to the problems of optimal mass transport for vector and matrix densities. This resolves both the issues of positivity and action transitivity constraints. Bures-type metrics on the…

We use the transport methods developped in [3] to obtain universality results for local statistics of eigenvalues in the bulk and at the edge for $\beta$-matrix models in the multi-cut regime. We construct an approximate transport map…

Optimal mass transport, also known as the earth mover's problem, is an optimization problem with important applications in various disciplines, including economics, probability theory, fluid dynamics, cosmology and geophysics to cite a few.…

This paper slightly improves a classical result by Gangbo and McCann (1996) about the structure of optimal transport plans for costs that are concave functions of the Euclidean distance. Since the main difficulty for proving the existence…

In this paper we study the subset sum problem with real numbers. Starting from the given problem, we formulate a quadratic maximization problem over a polytope which is eventually written as a distance maximization to a fixed point. For…

Finite-difference methods are widely used for zeroth-order optimization in settings where gradient information is unavailable or expensive to compute. These procedures mimic first-order strategies by approximating gradients through function…

We study first-order optimization algorithms for computing the barycenter of Gaussian distributions with respect to the optimal transport metric. Although the objective is geodesically non-convex, Riemannian GD empirically converges…

We consider the problem of finding an optimal piecewise linear path (polygonal line) connecting two given points with the possibility of making n turns at some points (the absolute value of each turn angle does not exceed a prescribed…

Let $M = (m_{ij})$ be an $n \times n$ square matrix of integers. For our purposes, we can assume without loss of generality that $M$ is homogeneous and that the entries are non-increasing going leftward and downward. Let $d$ be the sum of…

We introduce and analyze a statistical estimator for Monge transport maps: solutions to the quadratic optimal transport problem in Euclidean space. For absolutely continuous source measures, this map is uniquely defined as the gradient of a…

Consider the following Online Boolean Matrix-Vector Multiplication problem: We are given an $n\times n$ matrix $M$ and will receive $n$ column-vectors of size $n$, denoted by $v_1,\ldots,v_n$, one by one. After seeing each vector $v_i$, we…

Optimal transport (\OT) theory defines a powerful set of tools to compare probability distributions. \OT~suffers however from a few drawbacks, computational and statistical, which have encouraged the proposal of several regularized variants…

We design an additive approximation scheme for estimating the cost of the min-weight bipartite matching problem: given a bipartite graph with non-negative edge costs and $\varepsilon > 0$, our algorithm estimates the cost of matching all…

In this paper, we address the numerical solution of the Optimal Transport Problem on undirected weighted graphs, taking the shortest path distance as transport cost. The optimal solution is obtained from the long-time limit of the gradient…

Consider a rooted binary tree with n nodes. Assign with the root the abscissa 0, and with the left (resp. right) child of a node of abscissa i the abscissa i-1 (resp. i+1). We prove that the number of binary trees of size n having exactly…
