On the well-posedness of branched transportation

Analysis of PDEs 2019-11-25 v1

Abstract

We show in full generality the stability of optimal traffic paths in branched transport: namely we prove that any limit of optimal traffic paths is optimal as well. This solves an open problem in the field (cf. Open problem 1 in the book Optimal transportation networks, by Bernot, Caselles and Morel), which has been addressed up to now only under restrictive assumptions.
