We develop an estimation procedure for a discrete probability mass function (pmf) with unknown support. We derive its maximum likelihood estimator under the mild and natural shape-constraint of ...

This paper is about optimal transportation, of mass (real) or probability mass (virtual). Not so much about the solution of such problems, but about their formulation. Two non-negative vectors of the ...
