Partial $W^{2,p}$ regularity for optimal transport maps

Analysis of PDEs 2016-06-17 v1

Abstract

We prove that, in the optimal transportation problem with general costs and positive continuous densities, the potential function is always of class Wloc2,pW^{2,p}_{loc} for any p1p \geq 1 outside of a closed singular set of measure zero. We also establish global W2,pW^{2,p} estimates when the cost is a small perturbation of the quadratic cost. The latter result is new even when the cost is exactly the quadratic cost.
