Optimal transport with some directed distances

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2117952



Abstract: We present a toolkit of directed distances between quantile functions. By employing this, we solve some new optimal transport (OT) problems which e.g. considerably flexibilize some prominent OTs expressed through Wasserstein distances.


In a previous joint paper, the author and Broniatowski introduced a concept of direct distances (also called divergences) between two arbitrary functions, so widening the class of the so-called scaled Bregman distances (divergences). In the present paper the author applies the new concept of direct distances to the case of quantile functions. Next he considers and solves some new optimal transport problems were the cost functions are pointwise such distances. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1482.94007].
