Abstract

We study the minimizing movement scheme for families of geodesically semiconvex functionals defined on either the Hellinger--Kantorovich or the Spherical Hellinger--Kantorovich space. By exploiting some of the finer geometric properties of those spaces, we prove that the sequence of curves, which are produced by geodesically interpolating the points generated by the minimizing movement scheme, converges to curves that satisfy the Evolutionary Variational Inequality (EVI), when the time step goes to 0.
