Abstract

In this paper, we obtain some regularities of the free boundary in optimal transportation with the quadratic cost. Our first result is about the C1,αC^{1,\alpha} regularity of the free boundary for optimal partial transport between convex domains for densities f,gf, g bounded from below and above. When f,gCαf, g \in C^\alpha, and Ω,ΩC1,1\partial\Omega, \partial\Omega^*\in C^{1,1} are far apart, by adopting our recent results on boundary regularity of Monge-Amp\`ere equations \cite{CLW1}, our second result shows that the free boundaries are C2,αC^{2,\alpha}. As an application, in the last we also obtain these regularities of the free boundary in an optimal transport problem with two separate targets.
