Recently, a relaxed formulation of optimal transport for Gaussian mixtures has been proposed, which is based on the explicit formulation between Gaussians. The Gaussian distributions can be viewed as special elliptical contoured distributions generated from exponential function. In literature, there are few research about optimal transport between elliptical contoured distributions generated from different functions. In this paper, we first study optimal transport between radial contoured distributions generated from different functions and show theirWasserstein barycenter is still radial. Then we introduce a relaxed Wasserstein-type distance for mixtures with radial contoured components. We also consider the corresponding barycenter problem and connect it with a multimarginal problem.
