SUMMARY:Wasserstein distances and its Applications - Sebastian Neumayer\, 
 University of Kaiserslautern

CONTACT:Lisa Maria Kreusser
DESCRIPTION:I will talk shortly about Optimal Transport in general and how
  it developed. The Wasserstein distance will arise as a special case of Op
 timal Transport and some properties are presented. I will shortly explain 
 the numerical approach of Benamou and Brenier for computing the Wasserstei
 n distances. Depending on time I will present a possible application in im
 aging and/or a application in convergence proofs for large scale particle 
 systems. Most of the proofs are quite technical\, so I will focus more on 
 the results itself.
