On Properties of the Generalized Wasserstein Distance [PDF]
The Wasserstein distances $W_p$ ($p\geq 1$), defined in terms of solution to the Monge-Kantorovich problem, are known to be a useful tool to investigate transport equations. In particular, the Benamou-Brenier formula characterizes the square of the Wasserstein distance $W_2$ as the infimum of the kinetic energy, or action functional, of all vector ...

The Gromov–Wasserstein Distance: A Brief Overview
We recall the construction of the Gromov–Wasserstein distance and concentrate on quantitative aspects of the definition.

The Quantum Wasserstein Distance of Order 1 [PDF]
We propose a generalization of the Wasserstein distance of order 1 to the quantum states of $n$ qudits. The proposal recovers the Hamming distance for the vectors of the canonical basis, and more generally the classical Wasserstein distance for quantum ...

Irregularity of Distribution in Wasserstein Distance [PDF]
We study the non-uniformity of probability measures on the interval and the circle. On the interval, we identify the Wasserstein-$p$ distance with the classical $L^p$-discrepancy. We thereby derive sharp estimates in Wasserstein distances for the irregularity of distribution of sequences on the interval and the circle.

Scalar conservation laws seen as gradient flows: known results and new perspectives
We review some results in the literature which attempted (only partly successfully) at linking the theory of scalar conservation laws with the Wasserstein gradient flow theory.

Towards Inverse Modeling of Landscapes Using the Wasserstein Distance
Extricating histories of uplift and erosion from landscapes is crucial for many branches of the Earth sciences. An objective way to calculate such histories is to identify calibrated models that minimize misfit between observations (e.g., topography) and

Basic statistics for probabilistic symbolic variables: a novel metric-based approach
In data mining, it is usually to describe a set of individuals using some summaries (means, standard deviations, histograms, confidence intervals) that generalize individual descriptions into a typology description. In this case, data can be described by

High-Dimensional Distributionally Robust Mean-Variance Efficient Portfolio Selection
This paper introduces a novel distributionally robust mean-variance portfolio estimator based on the projection robust Wasserstein (PRW) distance. This approach addresses the issue of increasing conservatism of portfolio allocation strategies due to high-

Wasserstein distance, Fourier series and applications [PDF]
We study the Wasserstein metric $W_p$, a notion of distance between two probability distributions, from the perspective of Fourier Analysis and discuss applications. In particular, we bound the Earth Mover Distance $W_1$ between the distribution of quadratic residues in a finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$ and uniform distribution by $\lesssim p^{-1/2}$ (the ...

We investigate MACE‐MP‐0 and M3GNet, two general‐purpose machine learning potentials, in materials discovery and find that both generally yield reliable predictions. At the same time, both potentials show a bias towards overstabilizing high energy metastable states. We deduce a metric to quantify when these potentials are safe to use.
