New paper details structured approximations for probability measures in Wasserstein-p distance

This paper explores how to approximate probability measures using structured methods, particularly within the Wasserstein-p distance. The research focuses on applications in machine learning, imaging, and sensor-constrained measurements. Key findings include a linear rate transfer for approximation schemes in L_p(Omega) to measures in W_p(Omega) for densities bounded away from zero, leveraging Bogovskii's theorem and the Benamou-Brenier formulation of optimal transport. The paper also presents deterministic bounds for discrete approximations, showing that compactly supported measures can achieve an optimal quantizer rate of O(N^{-1/d}) for their Wasserstein-p distance approximation.
