Motivated by parallels between mean eld games and random matrix theory, we develop stochastic optimal control problems and viscosity solutions to Hamilton-Jacobi equa- tions in the setting of non-commutative variables. Rather than real vectors, the...

This special session is organized by the PIMS kantorovich Initiative (kantorovich.org) which is dedicated towards research in the mathematics of Monge-Kantorovich optimal transport and its numerous applications to multiple areas of mathematics...

Optimal transport operates on empirical distributions which may contain acquisition artifacts, such as outliers or noise, thereby hindering a robust calculation of the OT map. Additionally, it necessitates equal mass between the two distributions...

Density functional theory (DFT) is one of the workhorses of quantum chemistry and material science. In principle, the joint probability of finding a specific electron configuration in a material is governed by a Schrödinger wave equation. But...

The Gromov-Wasserstein (GW) distance quantifies dissimilarity between metric measure (mm) spaces and provides a natural alignment between them. As such, it serves as a figure of merit for applications involving alignment of heterogeneous datasets...

It is well-known that hydrodynamical limits of large particle systems with mean-field interactions are given by McKean-Vlasov equations where a particle evolves by an SDE whose parameters are functions of its law that itself satisfies a PDE such as...

Optimal Transport theory emerged more than two centuries ago as an engineering problem posed by Gaspard Monge just before the French revolution. Its rich mathematical structure was first revealed by the Russian Nobel-prize winner Kantorovich during...

Consider the Monge-Kantorovich problem of transporting densities $\rho_0$ to $\rho_1$ on $\rr^d$ with a strictly convex cost function. A popular relaxation of the problem is the one-parameter family called the entropic cost problem. The entropic cost...
