Dynamical formulation of the 2-Wasserstein distance for *discrete* matrix-valued measures

TL;DR: I want to find a definition generalizing "$t \mapsto \frac{1}{m} \sum_{k = 1}^{m} \delta_{x_k(t)}$ is a Wasserstein gradient flow" to matrix-valued probability measures. Let $(X, d)$ ...

How can we solve this kind of saddle point problem?

I'm trying to solve a saddle point problem of the following form: Let $(E,\mathcal E,\lambda)$ be a measure space; $p$ be a probability density on $(E,\mathcal E,\lambda)$ and $\mu:=p\lambda$ $W$ be ...

Is there a general guideline for minimizing $\sup_{y\in H}F(\;\cdot\;,y)$?

Let $H$ be a $\mathbb R$-Hilbert space and $F:H^2\to\mathbb R$. Is there a general guideline for minimizing $\sup_{y\in H}F(\;\cdot\;,y)$? Since the question is rather abstract, feel free to impose ...

Echange of Infimum Integral with Pointwise Infimum

Setup Suppose that $U$ is a subset of $L^{\infty}_{\mu}(\mathscr{F})\cap L^1_{\mu}(\mathscr{F})$ defined by $$ f\in U \Leftrightarrow g(f(x))\leq M \mbox{ and } f \in L^{\infty}_{\mu}(\mathscr{F})\...

Infimum of equivalent measures

Suppose I have a functional of the form $$ F(\mathbb{P})\triangleq \int_{\mathbb{R}^d} \int_{\Omega}f(x,\omega)\mathbb{P}(d\omega)m(dx), $$ where $m$ is the Lebesgue measure and $\mathbb{P}$ is a ...

Can one estimate the distribution of eigenvalues of a matrix by its Cauchy/Stieltje transform?

Given a real symmetric $n$ dimensional matrix $A$, with eigenvalues $\lambda_i$ I am defining its Cauchy transform as the function, $f_A(z) = \sum_i \frac{1}{z-\lambda_i}\,$ Is there any information ...
