Optimal Mass Distribution Minimizing Average 2-Wasserstein Distance to a Set of Mass Distributions

Given a fixed set of $n$ points in 2D (Earth Movers distance Prpblem), $P = \{p_1, p_2, ..., p_n\}$, I am trying to find the mass distribution $\bar{M}$ that minimizes the average 2-Wasserstein ...

Maximiser of $W_1(\mu, \nu)$ can be changed outside of $\text{conv}(\text{supp}(\mu) \cap \text{supp}(\nu))$ (under additional assumptions)

Let $(X, \| \cdot \|)$ be a reflexive Banach space and $\mathbb{P}_n$, $\mathbb{P}_r$ be measures on $X$. Let the support of $\mathbb{P}_r$, $M := \text{supp}(\mathbb{P}_r)$ be a weakly compact set ...
