Generalized incompressible flows, multi-marginal transport and Sinkhorn algorithm


Abstract in English

Starting from Breniers relaxed formulation of the incompressible Euler equation in terms of geodesics in the group of measure-preserving diffeomorphisms, we propose a numerical method based on Sinkhorns algorithm for the entropic regularization of optimal transport. We also make a detailed comparison of this entropic regularization with the so-called Bredinger entropic interpolation problem. Numerical results in dimension one and two illustrate the feasibility of the method.
