It is known that gradient-based MCMC samplers for continuous spaces, such as Langevin Monte Carlo (LMC), can be derived as particle versions of a gradient flow that minimizes KL divergence on a Wasserstein manifold. The superior efficiency…

We study a non-local version of the Cahn-Hilliard dynamics for phase separation in a two-component incompressible and immiscible mixture with linear mobilities. In difference to the celebrated local model with nonlinear mobility, it is only…

We present a novel multiscale framework for analyzing sequences of probability measures in Wasserstein spaces over Euclidean domains. Exploiting the intrinsic geometry of optimal transport, we construct a multiscale transform applicable to…

Modeling real-world distributions can often be challenging due to sample data that are subjected to perturbations, e.g., instrumentation errors, or added random noise. Since flow models are typically nonlinear algorithms, they amplify these…

In this work, we investigate the convergence properties of the backward regularized Wasserstein proximal (BRWP) method for sampling a target distribution. The BRWP approach can be shown as a semi-implicit time discretization for a…

We study the particle method to approximate the gradient flow on the $L^p$-Wasserstein space. This method relies on the discretization of the energy introduced by [3] via nonoverlapping balls centered at the particles and preserves the…

Wasserstein gradient flows of maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) functionals with non-smooth Riesz kernels show a rich structure as singular measures can become absolutely continuous ones and conversely. In this paper we contribute to the…

This paper presents a geometric variational discretization of compressible fluid dynamics. The numerical scheme is obtained by discretizing, in a structure preserving way, the Lie group formulation of fluid dynamics on diffeomorphism groups…

The sliced Wasserstein flow (SWF), a nonparametric and implicit generative gradient flow, is transformed into a Liouville partial differential equation (PDE)-based formalism. First, the stochastic diffusive term from the Fokker-Planck…

We consider a one-dimensional kinetic model of granular media in the case where the interaction potential is quadratic. Taking advan- tage of a simple first integral, we can use a reformulation (equivalent to the initial kinetic model for…

Wasserstein barycenters provide a geometrically meaningful way to aggregate probability distributions, built on the theory of optimal transport. They are difficult to compute in practice, however, leading previous work to restrict their…

Wasserstein-Fisher-Rao (WFR) gradient flows have been recently proposed as a powerful sampling tool that combines the advantages of pure Wasserstein (W) and pure Fisher-Rao (FR) gradient flows. Existing algorithmic developments implicitly…

This paper studies the convergence properties of the inexact Jordan-Kinderlehrer-Otto (JKO) scheme and proximal-gradient algorithm in the context of Wasserstein spaces. The JKO scheme, a widely-used method for approximating solutions to…

A novel optimization approach is proposed for application to policy gradient methods and evolution strategies for reinforcement learning (RL). The procedure uses a computationally efficient Wasserstein natural gradient (WNG) descent that…

At the heart of any method for computational fluid dynamics lies the question of how the simulated fluid should be discretized. Traditionally, a fixed Eulerian mesh is often employed for this purpose, which in modern schemes may also be…

The sliced-Wasserstein flow is an evolution equation where a probability density evolves in time, advected by a velocity field computed as the average among directions in the unit sphere of the optimal transport displacements from its 1D…

We perform numerical analysis of a nonlinear gradient flow, which can be regarded as a parabolic minimal surface problem or a regularised total variation flow, using the gradient discretisation method (GDM). GDM is a unified convergence…

We examine stability properties of primal-dual gradient flow dynamics for composite convex optimization problems with multiple, possibly nonsmooth, terms in the objective function under the generalized consensus constraint. The proposed…

This paper proposes an efficient numerical optimization approach for solving dynamic optimal transport (DOT) problems on general smooth surfaces, computing both the quadratic Wasserstein distance and the associated transportation path.…

This paper deals with the geometric numerical integration of gradient flow and its application to optimization. Gradient flows often appear as model equations of various physical phenomena, and their dissipation laws are essential.…
