Wasserstein Hamiltonian flows

16 Dec 2019  ·  Chow Shui-Nee, Li Wuchen, Zhou Haomin ·

We establish kinetic Hamiltonian flows in density space embedded with the $L^2$-Wasserstein metric tensor. We derive the Euler-Lagrange equation in density space, which introduces the associated Hamiltonian flows. We demonstrate that many classical equations, such as Vlasov equation, Schr{\"o}dinger equation and Schr{\"o}dinger bridge problem, can be rewritten as the formalism of Hamiltonian flows in density space.
