We study the quadratically regularized optimal transport (QOT) problem for quadratic cost and compactly supported marginals $\mu$ and $\nu$. It has been empirically observed that the optimal coupling $\pi_\epsilon$ for the QOT problem has…
Quadratically regularized optimal transport (QOT) is a sparse alternative to entropic optimal transport. We develop a quantitative stability theory for QOT under perturbations of the marginals, the transport cost function, and the…
The quadratically regularized optimal transport problem is empirically known to have sparse solutions: its optimal coupling $\pi_{\varepsilon}$ has sparse support for small regularization parameter $\varepsilon$, in contrast to entropic…
Estimating Wasserstein distances between two high-dimensional densities suffers from the curse of dimensionality: one needs an exponential (wrt dimension) number of samples to ensure that the distance between two empirical measures is…
Optimal transportation provides a means of lifting distances between points on a geometric domain to distances between signals over the domain, expressed as probability distributions. On a graph, transportation problems can be used to…
Quadratically regularized optimal transport (QOT) is an alternative to entropic regularization that yields sparse couplings and avoids numerical instabilities due to exponential scaling. From an optimization viewpoint, the dual QOT…
We consider regularised quadratic optimal transport with subquadratic polynomial or entropic regularisation. In both cases, we prove interior Lipschitz-estimates on a transport-like map and interior gradient Lipschitz-estimates on the…
Partial Optimal Transport (POT) has recently emerged as a central tool in various Machine Learning (ML) applications. It lifts the stringent assumption of the conventional Optimal Transport (OT) that input measures are of equal masses,…
Optimal transport (OT) theory has been been used in machine learning to study and characterize maps that can push-forward efficiently a probability measure onto another. Recent works have drawn inspiration from Brenier's theorem, which…
The quadratically regularized optimal transport problem has recently been considered in various applications where the coupling needs to be \emph{sparse}, i.e., the density of the coupling needs to be zero for a large subset of the product…
It is well known that optimal transport suffers from the curse of dimensionality: when the prescribed marginals are approximated by i.i.d. samples, the convergence of the empirical optimal transport problem to the population counterpart…
In optimal transport, quadratic regularization is a sparse alternative to entropic regularization: the solution measure tends to have small support. Computational experience suggests that the support decreases monotonically to the…
We address optimal control problems on the space of measures for an objective containing a smooth functional and an optimal transport regularization. That is, the quadratic Monge-Kantorovich distance between a given prior measure and the…
Estimating optimal transport (OT) maps (a.k.a. Monge maps) between two measures $P$ and $Q$ is a problem fraught with computational and statistical challenges. A promising approach lies in using the dual potential functions obtained when…
In optimal transport, quadratic regularization is an alternative to entropic regularization when sparse couplings or small regularization parameters are desired. Quadratic regularization penalizes transport couplings by the squared $L^2$…
Entropic regularization is quickly emerging as a new standard in optimal transport (OT). It enables to cast the OT computation as a differentiable and unconstrained convex optimization problem, which can be efficiently solved using the…
Regularized optimal transport (OT) is now increasingly used as a loss or as a matching layer in neural networks. Entropy-regularized OT can be computed using the Sinkhorn algorithm but it leads to fully-dense transportation plans, meaning…
We study the vanishing-regularization limit of entropically regularized optimal transport (EOT) for the Euclidean distance cost $c(x,y)=\|x-y\|$ in dimension $d>1$. We develop a comprehensive variational convergence framework that entails…
Linear programs with quadratic regularization are attracting renewed interest due to their applications in optimal transport: unlike entropic regularization, the squared-norm penalty gives rise to sparse approximations of optimal transport…
The optimal transport problem with quadratic regularization is useful when sparse couplings are desired. The density of the optimal coupling is described by two functions called potentials; equivalently, potentials can be defined as a…
