Gromov-Hausdorff limit of Wasserstein spaces on point clouds
Calculus of Variations and Partial Differential Equations (Calc. Var. PDE), 2017
Abstract
We consider a point cloud uniformly distributed on the flat torus $\mathbb{T}^d : = \mathbb{R}^d / \mathbb{Z}^d $, and construct a geometric graph on the cloud by connecting points that are within distance of each other. We let be the space of probability measures on and endow it with a discrete Wasserstein distance as defined by Maas. We show that as long as decays towards zero slower than an explicit rate depending on the level of uniformity of , then the space converges in the Gromov-Hausdorff sense towards the space of probability measures on endowed with the Wasserstein distance.
