As a counterpoint to classical stochastic particle methods for linear diffusion equations, such
as Langevin dynamics for the Fokker-Planck equation, we develop a deterministic particle …

Optimal quantization with branched optimal transport distances

P Pegon, M Petrache - arXiv preprint arXiv:2309.08677, 2023 - arxiv.org
We consider the problem of optimal approximation of a target measure by an atomic
measure with $ N $ atoms, in branched optimal transport distance. This is a new branched …

Asymptotic quantization on Riemannian manifolds via covering growth estimates

AD Aydin, M Iacobelli - arXiv preprint arXiv:2402.13164, 2024 - arxiv.org
The quantization problem looks for best approximations of a probability measure on a given
metric space by finitely many points, where the approximation error is measured with respect …
