The multistochastic $ (n,k)$-Monge--Kantorovich problem on a product space $\prod_{i=1}^n X_i$ is an extension of the classical Monge--Kantorovich problem. This problem is considered on the space of measures with fixed projections onto…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition on the cost function so that the map solution of Monge's optimal transportation problem is continuous for arbitrary smooth positive data. This condition was first introduced by Ma, Trudinger and…

In the Monge-Kantorovich transport problem, the transport cost is expressed in terms of transport maps or transport plans, which play crucial roles there. A variant of the Monge-Kantorovich problem is the ramified (branching) transport…
The Monge-Kantorovich transportation problem involves optimizing with respect to a given a cost function. Uniqueness is a fundamental open question about which little is known when the cost function is smooth and the landscapes containing…

We study the entropic regularization of the optimal transport problem in dimension 1 when the cost function is the distance c(x, y) = |y -- x|. The selected plan at the limit is, among those which are optimal for the non-penalized problem,…
This paper shows that the semi-dual formulation of the optimal transport problem has a degenerate saddle-point structure, and that its numerical solution is equivalent to solving a constrained optimization problem. We derive necessary and…
We focus on Optimal Transport PDE on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$ with a particular type of cost function $c(x,y) = F(x \cdot y, x \cdot \hat{e}, y \cdot \hat{e})$ which we call cost functions with preferential direction, where $\hat{e}…
We establish a general condition on the cost function to obtain uniqueness and Monge solutions in the multi-marginal optimal transport problem, under the assumption that a given collection of the marginals are absolutely continuous with…
We consider a class of stochastic optimal transport, SOT for short, with given two endpoint marginals in the case where a cost function exhibits at most quadratic growth. We first study the upper and lower estimates, the short--time…
We study the Monge--Kantorovich problem with one-dimensional marginals $\mu$ and $\nu$ and the cost function $c = \min\{l_1, \ldots, l_n\}$ that equals the minimum of a finite number $n$ of affine functions $l_i$ satisfying certain…
We prove the Duality Theorems for the stochastic optimal transportation problems with a convex cost function without a regularity assumption that is often supposed in the proof of the lower semicontinuity of an action integral. In our new…
We introduce and investigate properties of a variant of the semi-discrete optimal transport problem. In this problem, one is given an absolutely continuous source measure and cost function, along with a finite set which will be the support…

We study the optimal transport between two probability measures on the real line, where the transport plans are laws of one-step martingales. A quasi-sure formulation of the dual problem is introduced and shown to yield a complete duality…
We introduce a general notion of transport cost that encompasses many costs used in the literature (including the classical one and weak transport costs introduced by Talagrand and Marton in the 90's), and prove a Kantorovich type duality…
