A Unified Variational Framework for Optimal Transport with Lagrangian Costs

Hailiang Liu

We investigate optimal transport distances induced by general Lagrangian action functionals. Extending the classical Monge - Kantorovich and Benamou - Brenier theories, we derive a…

A Primal-Dual Level Set Method for Computing Geodesic Distances

Hailiang Liu, Laura Zinnel

The numerical computation of shortest paths or geodesics on surfaces, along with the associated geodesic distance, has a wide range of applications. Compared to Euclidean distance…

A Generalized Energy-Based Adaptive Gradient Method for Optimization

Lin Feng, Hailiang Liu

Adaptive Gradient Descent with Energy (AEGD) is a variant of Gradient Descent (GD) designed to address step size sensitivity through an energy-based formulation. AEGD is notable fo…

Variational structure of Fokker-Planck equations with variable mobility

Hailiang Liu, Athanasios E. Tzavaras

We study Fokker--Planck equations with symmetric, positive definite mobility matrices capturing diffusion in heterogeneous environments. A weighted Wasserstein metric is introduced…

The Onsager principle and structure preserving numerical schemes

Huangxin Chen, Hailiang Liu, Xianmin Xu

We present a natural framework for constructing energy-stable time discretization schemes. By leveraging the Onsager principle, we demonstrate its efficacy in formulating partial d…

Data-driven optimal control with neural network modeling of gradient flows

Xuping Tian, Baskar Ganapathysubramanian, Hailiang Liu

Extracting physical laws from observation data is a central challenge in many diverse areas of science and engineering. We propose Optimal Control Neural Networks (OCN) to learn th…

Adaptive Preconditioned Gradient Descent with Energy

Hailiang Liu, Levon Nurbekyan, Xuping Tian +1

We propose an adaptive step size with an energy approach for a suitable class of preconditioned gradient descent methods. We focus on settings where the preconditioning is applied…
