Convergence rates for regularized unbalanced optimal transport: the discrete case

Luca Nenna, Paul Pegon, Louis Tocquec

Unbalanced optimal transport (UOT) is a natural extension of optimal transport (OT) allowing comparison between measures of different masses. It arises naturally in machine learnin…

Ground state energy is not always convex in the number of electrons

Simone Di Marino, Mathieu Lewin, Luca Nenna

We provide the first counterexample showing that the ground state energy of electrons in an external Coulomb potential is not always a convex function of the number of electrons. T…

A variational formulation of a Multi-Population Mean Field Games with non-local interactions

Luigi De Pascale, Luca Nenna

We propose a MFG model with quadratic Hamiltonian involving populations. This results in a system of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman and Fokker-Planck equations with non-local…

Convergence rate of entropy-regularized multi-marginal optimal transport costs

Luca Nenna, Paul Pegon

We investigate the convergence rate of multi-marginal optimal transport costs that are regularized with the Boltzmann-Shannon entropy, as the noise parameter tends to…
