A new optimal transport distance on the space of finite Radon measures
read the original abstract
We introduce a new optimal transport distance between nonnegative finite Radon measures with possibly different masses. The construction is based on non-conservative continuity equations and a corresponding modified Benamou-Brenier formula. We establish various topological and geometrical properties of the resulting metric space, derive some formal Riemannian structure, and develop differential calculus following F. Otto's approach. Finally, we apply these ideas to identify an ideal free distribution model of population dynamics as a gradient flow and obtain new long-time convergence results.
