Convergence of the Space-Discretization
Setting: X bounded and convex, µ ∈ Pac(X) with density c−1 ≤ ρ ≤ c (C1) E continuous, U l.s.c on (P(X), W2) minν∈P(X)
1 2τ W2 2(µ, ν) + E(ν) + U(ν)
(∗) Theorem: Let Pn ⊆ X finite, µn ∈ P(Pn) with lim W2(µn, µ) = 0, and: minφ∈KG
X(Pn)
1 2τ W2(µn, Hφ#µn) + E(Hφ#µn) + U(Gφ#µn)
(∗)n If φn minimizes (∗)n, then (Gφn#µn) is a minimizing sequence for (∗). (C2) U(ρ) =
- U(ρ(x)) d x, where U ≥ M is convex.
= McCann’s condition for displacement-convexity
◮ Proof relies on Caffarelli’s regularity theorem. ◮ When Pn is a regular grid, there is an alternative (and quantitative) argument
