Gromov-Wasserstein Quantization and Clustering: Structure, Rates, and Algorithms

Florian Beier, Stephan Eckstein

Clustering is a fundamental class of data analysis techniques with the most important representatives being centroid-based methods like -means. Such methods are strongly connect…

Optimal transport and Wasserstein distances for causal models

Patrick Cheridito, Stephan Eckstein

In this paper, we introduce a variant of optimal transport adapted to the causal structure given by an underlying directed graph . Different graph structures lead to different s…

Stability and Sample Complexity of Divergence Regularized Optimal Transport

Erhan Bayraktar, Stephan Eckstein, Xin Zhang

We study stability and sample complexity properties of divergence regularized optimal transport (DOT). First, we obtain quantitative stability results for optimizers of DOT measure…

Convergence Rates for Regularized Optimal Transport via Quantization

Stephan Eckstein, Marcel Nutz

We study the convergence of divergence-regularized optimal transport as the regularization parameter vanishes. Sharp rates for general divergences including relative entropy or $L^…

Dimensionality Reduction and Wasserstein Stability for Kernel Regression

Stephan Eckstein, Armin Iske, Mathias Trabs

In a high-dimensional regression framework, we study consequences of the naive two-step procedure where first the dimension of the input variables is reduced and second, the reduce…

Computational methods for adapted optimal transport

Stephan Eckstein, Gudmund Pammer

Adapted optimal transport (AOT) problems are optimal transport problems for distributions of a time series where couplings are constrained to have a temporal causal structure. In t…

Quantitative Stability of Regularized Optimal Transport and Convergence of Sinkhorn's Algorithm

Stephan Eckstein, Marcel Nutz

We study the stability of entropically regularized optimal transport with respect to the marginals. Lipschitz continuity of the value and Hölder continuity of the optimal coupling…

MinMax Methods for Optimal Transport and Beyond: Regularization, Approximation and Numerics

Luca De Gennaro Aquino, Stephan Eckstein

We study MinMax solution methods for a general class of optimization problems related to (and including) optimal transport. Theoretically, the focus is on fitting a large class of…

Lipschitz neural networks are dense in the set of all Lipschitz functions

Stephan Eckstein

This note shows that, for a fixed Lipschitz constant , one layer neural networks that are -Lipschitz are dense in the set of all -Lipschitz functions with respect to t…

Limits of random walks with distributionally robust transition probabilities

Daniel Bartl, Stephan Eckstein, Michael Kupper

We consider a nonlinear random walk which, in each time step, is free to choose its own transition probability within a neighborhood (w.r.t. Wasserstein distance) of the transition…

Robust pricing and hedging of options on multiple assets and its numerics

Stephan Eckstein, Gaoyue Guo, Tongseok Lim +1

We consider robust pricing and hedging for options written on multiple assets given market option prices for the individual assets. The resulting problem is called the multi-margin…

Martingale transport with homogeneous stock movements

Stephan Eckstein, Michael Kupper

We study a variant of the martingale optimal transport problem in a multi-period setting to derive robust price bounds of a financial derivative. On top of marginal and martingale…

Robust risk aggregation with neural networks

Stephan Eckstein, Michael Kupper, Mathias Pohl

We consider settings in which the distribution of a multivariate random variable is partly ambiguous. We assume the ambiguity lies on the level of the dependence structure, and tha…

Computation of optimal transport and related hedging problems via penalization and neural networks

Stephan Eckstein, Michael Kupper

This paper presents a widely applicable approach to solving (multi-marginal, martingale) optimal transport and related problems via neural networks. The core idea is to penalize th…

Extended Laplace Principle for Empirical Measures of a Markov Chain

Stephan Eckstein

We consider discrete time Markov chains with Polish state space. The large deviations principle for empirical measures of a Markov chain can equivalently be stated in Laplace princ…

Marginal and dependence uncertainty: bounds, optimal transport, and sharpness

Daniel Bartl, Michael Kupper, Thibaut Lux +2

Motivated by applications in model-free finance and quantitative risk management, we consider Fréchet classes of multivariate distribution functions where additional information on…
