On the Martingale Schrödinger Bridge between Two Distributions

Published 10 Jan 2024 in math.PR and q-fin.MF | (2401.05209v1)

Abstract: We study a martingale Schr\"odinger bridge problem: given two probability distributions, find their martingale coupling with minimal relative entropy. Our main result provides Schr\"odinger potentials for this coupling. Namely, under certain conditions, the log-density of the optimal coupling is given by a triplet of real functions representing the marginal and martingale constraints. The potentials are also described as the solution of a dual problem.
