We consider a multimarginal optimal transport, which includes as a particular case the Wasserstein barycenter problem. In this problem one has to find an optimal coupling between m probability measures, which amounts to finding a tensor of the order m. We propose an accelerated method based on accelerated alternating minimization and estimate its complexity to find the approximate solution to the problem. We use entropic regularization with sufficiently small regularization parameter and apply accelerated alternating minimization to the dual problem. A novel primal-dual analysis is used to reconstruct the approximately optimal coupling tensor. Our algorithm exhibits a better computational complexity than the state-of-the-art methods for some regimes of the problem parameters.
