Researchers have developed a new method for optimizing non-convex functionals in Wasserstein space by adapting the Difference-of-Convex (DC) programming approach. This technique, applied to functionals like Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD) and Energy Distance (ED), aims to improve the convergence and stability of optimization algorithms. Empirical results suggest that DC decompositions offer faster and more reliable convergence compared to standard Wasserstein gradient descent for these objectives. AI
