Abstract

In this paper we consider the mass transportation problem in a bounded domain Ω\Omega where a positive mass f + in the interior is sent to the boundary Ω\partial\Omega, appearing for instance in some shape optimization problems, and we prove summability estimates on the associated transport density σ\sigma, which is the transport density from a diffuse measure to a measure on the boundary f -- = P \# f + (P being the projection on the boundary), hence singular. Via a symmetrization trick, as soon as Ω\Omega is convex or satisfies a uniform exterior ball condition, we prove L p estimates (if f + \in L p, then σ\sigma \in L p). Finally, by a counterexample we prove that if f + \in L \infty (Ω)(\Omega) and f -- has bounded density w.r.t. the surface measure on Ω\partial\Omega, the transport density σ\sigma between f + and f -- is not necessarily in L \infty (Ω)(\Omega), which means that the fact that f -- = P \# f + is crucial.
