Title

Duality for the Entropic Optimal Transport Problem and Applications


Speaker

Simone di Marino - DIMA, Università di Genova


Abstract

We want to explore a different approach to the duality in the entropic optimal transport, much more in the spirit of optimal transport, which is different from the usual techniques coming from the Schrodinger problem. This will result in consistent a priori estimates, which are preserved in the limit of epsilon going to 0. As a byproduct we find new estimates for the Schrodinger problem and we prove the IPFP algorithm is converging also in the multimarginal case.


Bio
