Gaussian distributions are globally solved for unbalanced optimal transport and density control

Researchers have developed a new method for solving unbalanced optimal transport and density control problems specifically for Gaussian distributions. This approach involves a control-theoretic dynamical extension, termed unbalanced density control (UDC), which simplifies the problem into a finite-dimensional optimization over key parameters like masses, means, and covariances. The findings provide globally optimal solution methods for both Gaussian UOT and UDC, with potential applications demonstrated through numerical examples. AI
