This lecture delves into the in-depth evaluation of optimal transport, focusing on the gradient flows and the implicit Euler scheme to approximate the problem. It covers the back-and-forth method, displacement interpolation, Dirichlet energy functional, and the heat equation. The instructor illustrates the uniqueness of the gradient flow structure and extends the discussion to piecewise constant functions.
