News: 

  • The course is planned to start in January 2024

 

Course Description: 


This course introduces

  • fundamental theories of optimal transport, e.g., Kantorovich and Monge problems, structure of  minimizers, Wasserstein spaces, geodesic structures, etc.,
  • efficient numerical methods for computing optimal transport, e.g. Brenier-Benamou formula (continuous OT) and entropy regularization (discrete OT),
  • some applications, e.g., Beckman's problem, image processing.

 

Location and Time:
