"""The static Schrodinger bridge: a path law, the chain rule, and the scaling that solves it. A path law over a finite time grid is an ordinary probability vector over paths, and its relative entropy from a reference splits by the chain rule into a term for the two endpoints and a term for the interior. Only the first term is constrained, so the bridge keeps the reference bridges exactly and all of its freedom goes into the endpoint coupling. Iterative proportional fitting then computes that coupling by alternate rescaling. Chapter 7, Sections 7.12 to 7.15.3 of the notes. Runs on the two-state chain with transition matrix A, source law (0.5, 0.5) and requested terminal law (0.2, 0.8). Prints the eight path probabilities, the chain rule on two tables, the fitted potentials, the tilted matrices and the bridge path law. python lecture_7/static_bridge.py # 4 rounds of proportional fitting python lecture_7/static_bridge.py --steps 1 # one round, the one worked by hand """ # %% 01.
