AG Analysis-Probability: Maximilian Penka (TU München): On the curse of dimension in multi-marginal optimal transport and its numerical methods

Ort: MPI für Mathematik in den Naturwissenschaften Leipzig, Inselstr. 22, E2 10 (Leon-Lichtenstein)

Vortrag in der Reihe: AG Analysis-Probability In recent times, mathematicians have increasingly formulated problems related to strongly interacting systems as multi-marginal optimal transport (MMOT) problems. From a theoretical point of view, this formulation is helpful because a MMOT problem is convex, and one can use a well-developed and strong duality theory. Unfortunately, the problem suffers extremely from the curse of dimension in that one seeks a solution in the product space of the marginal spaces, making direct application of algorithms from regular OT theory difficult. Therefore, [FSV22] introduced a genetic modification of the column generation algorithm to solve an MMOT problem from DFT. This algorithm, respectively its extension to general MMOT problems, reduces the data complexity from O(\ell^N) to O(N*\ell) (N the number and \ell the cardinality of the marginals). It can also be shown that in the classical case of N=2 marginals, the algorithm always converges to the global optimum and reduces the data complexity, which may also make it interesting for large classical OT problems.
