Does this maximisation problem admit a finite upper bound?

Let $\mathcal M_2$ be the space of real $2\times 2$ matrices and $\mathcal S_2\subset \mathcal M_2$ be its subset consisting of positive semidefinite elements, i.e. $A\in \mathcal S_2$ iff $A$ is ...

Dependency of the Wasserstein distance on the parameter: a differential perspective

Let $\mu(dx)=\sum_{i=1}^np_i\delta_{x_i}(dx)$ and $\nu(dy)=\rho(y)dy$ be two probability measures on $\mathbb R^d$. Consider the $2-$Wasserstein distance below: $$W_2(\mu,\nu)^2 \quad := \quad \inf_{\...
