Description
In this talk, we will present a numerical scheme to approximate the saddle points of a Wasserstein gradient flow. Our approach is based on known techniques for Hilbert spaces and is derived from a formal JKO scheme. Unlike geodesic approaches, ours does not require solving any optimal transport problems. We will showcase the performance of the method and validate it over several examples. This is work in collaboration with Jeroen Wapstra (TU Eindhoven).
