Abstract

The adapted Wasserstein distance is a metric for quantifying distributional uncertainty and assessing the sensitivity of stochastic optimization problems on time series data. A computationally efficient alternative to it, is provided by the entropically regularized adapted Wasserstein distance. Suffering from similar shortcomings as classical optimal transport, there are only few explicitly known solutions to those distances. Recently, Gunasingam--Wong provided a closed-form representation of the adapted Wasserstein distance between real-valued stochastic processes with Gaussian laws. In this paper, we extend their work in two directions, by considering multidimensional ($\mathbb{R}^d$-valued) stochastic processes with Gaussian laws and including the entropic regularization. In both settings, we provide closed-form solutions.
