Numerical solutions of the mass transfer problem

Serge Dubuc, Issa Kagabo (2006)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Let μ and ν be two probability measures on the real line and let c be a lower semicontinuous function on the plane. The mass transfer problem consists in determining a measure ξ whose marginals coincide with μ and ν, and whose total cost ∫∫ c(x,y)dξ(x,y) is minimum. In this paper we present three algorithms to solve numerically this Monge-Kantorovitch problem when the commodity being shipped is one-dimensional and not necessarily confined to a bounded interval. We illustrate these numerical...

Obata’s Rigidity Theorem for Metric Measure Spaces

Christian Ketterer (2015)

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces

We prove Obata’s rigidity theorem for metric measure spaces that satisfy a Riemannian curvaturedimension condition. Additionally,we show that a lower bound K for the generalizedHessian of a sufficiently regular function u holds if and only if u is K-convex. A corollary is also a rigidity result for higher order eigenvalues.

On a surprising relation between the Marchenko–Pastur law, rectangular and square free convolutions

Florent Benaych-Georges (2010)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

In this paper, we prove a result linking the square and the rectangular R-transforms, the consequence of which is a surprising relation between the square and rectangular versions the free additive convolutions, involving the Marchenko–Pastur law. Consequences on random matrices, on infinite divisibility and on the arithmetics of the square versions of the free additive and multiplicative convolutions are given.

On analytical properties of generalized convolutions

Zeev (Vladimir) Volkovich, Dvora Toledano-Kitai, Renata Avros (2010)

Banach Center Publications

The paper is, for the most part, devoted to a survey of the analytical properties of generalized convolution algebras and their realizations. This issue appears to be the state of the art until now because intensive research on the generalized convolution and the related models still persists.
