Here, c(x, y) = 1 2 x y Brenier s theorem: If µ does not give mass to sets of dimension n 1,! optimal plan π (Kantorovich) induced by a map T (Monge) T = ϕ, ϕ convex, π = (I ϕ)#µ, ϕ#µ = ν. From now on µ(dx) = ρ 0 (x)dx, ν(dy) = ρ 1 (y)dy.

16 SBP (cont d)

17 SBP (cont d) Schrödinger: solution (bridge from ρ 0 to ρ 1 over Brownian motion), has at each time a density ρ that factors as ρ(x, t) = ϕ(x, t) ˆϕ(x, t), where ϕ and ˆϕ solve Schrödinger s system ϕ(x, t) = p(t, x, 1, y)ϕ(y, 1)dy, ϕ(x, 0) ˆϕ(x, 0) = ρ 0 (x) ˆϕ(x, t) = p(0, y, t, x) ˆϕ(y, 0)dy, ϕ(x, 1) ˆϕ(x, 1) = ρ 1 (x). Existence and uniqueness for Schrödinger s system: Fortet 1940, Beurling 1960, Jamison 1974/75, Föllmer 1988.

18 Solution of the Schrödinger system

19 SBP as a control problem The minimum relative entropy formulation of SBP can be turned using Girsanov s theorem, into a stochastic control problem! SBP: 1 1 inf (ρ,v) R n 0 2ɛ v(x, t) 2 ρ(x, t)dtdx, ρ t + (vρ) ɛ ρ = 0, 2 ρ(x, 0) = ρ 0 (x), ρ(y, 1) = ρ 1 (y). Blaquière, Dai Pra, Pavon-Wakolbinger, Filliger-Hongler-Streit,... cf. with OMT: 1 1 inf (ρ,v) R n 0 2 v(x, t) 2 ρ(x, t)dtdx ρ t + (vρ) = 0 ρ(x, 0) = ρ 0 (x), ρ(y, 1) = ρ 1 (y)

20 Time-symmetric fluid-dynamic formulation connection with OMT SBP: 1 [ 1 inf (ρ,v) R n 0 2ɛ v(x, t) 2 + ɛ ] log ρ(x, t) 2 ρ(x, t)dtdx, 8 ρ + (vρ) = 0, t ρ(0, x) = ρ 0 (x), ρ(1, y) = ρ 1 (y).

Benamou and Brenier: extra term Fisher information integrated over time.

21 Schrödinger s Bridges and OMT Can we use SBP as an approximation of OMT? Yes Mikami 2004, Mikami-Thieullen 2006,2008, Léonard 2012, Chen-Georgiou-Pavon 2015 Is this useful to compute solution to OMT? Other directions: 1. Earlier proofs of SBP solution not in implementable form 2. Earlier formulation of SBP only for non degenerate diffusions (which excluded most engineering applications) 3. Steady-state theory 4. OMT with nontrivial prior, etc.
