Weak Optimal Entropy Transport Problems

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce weak optimal entropy transport problems that cover both optimal entropy transport problems and weak optimal transport problems introduced by Liero, Mielke, and Savar\'{e} [27]; and Gozlan, Roberto, Samson and Tetali [20], respectively. Under some mild assumptions of entropy functionals, we establish a Kantorovich type duality for our weak optimal entropy transport problem. We also introduce martingale optimal entropy transport problems, and express them in terms of duality, homogeneous marginal perspective functionals and homogeneous constraints.
