Duality theory and optimal transport for sand piles growing in a silos

Analysis of PDEs 2015-05-08 v2

Abstract

We prove existence and uniqueness of solutions for a system of PDEs which describes the growth of a sandpile in a silos with flat bottom under the action of a vertical, measure source. The tools we use are a discrete approximation of the source and the duality theory for optimal transport (or Monge-Kantorovich) problems.
