Analyse de sensibilité quantitative pour l'équation de Fokker-Planck par rapport à la distance de Wasserstein
Abstract
We analyze the sensitivity of solutions to the Fokker-Planck equation with respect to some unknown parameter. Our main result is to provide quantitative upper bounds for the $p$-Wasserstein distance $\mathcal{W}_p$ between two solutions with different parameters, for every $p \geq 2$. We are able to give two proofs of this result, the first relying on synchronous coupling between two solutions of an SDE, and another one that relies on the differentiation of Kantorovitch dual formulation of optimal transport. We also provide more specific bounds in the case of the overdamped Langevin process, for which we are able to compare convergence to the invariant measure and sensitivity to the parameter.
