Optimal transportation with capacity constraints, a variant of the well-known optimal transportation problem, is concerned with transporting one probability density $f \in L^1(\mathbb{R}^m)$ onto another one $g \in L^1(\mathbb{R}^n)$ so as…

The inverse optimal transport problem is to find the underlying cost function from the knowledge of optimal transport plans. While this amounts to solving a linear inverse problem, in this work we will be concerned with the nonlinear…

In this paper, we look at the problem of finding the tour of maximum reward on an undirected graph where the reward is a submodular function, that has a curvature of $\kappa$, of the edges in the tour. This problem is known to be NP-hard.…

We construct homogeneous optimal transport maps for the quadratic cost between convex cones with homogeneous, possibly degenerate, densities when the cones satisfy an obliqueness condition. The existence of such maps plays a central role in…

In this paper, we study the optimal transport problem induced by separable cost functions. In this framework, transportation can be expressed as the composition of two lower-dimensional movements. Through this reformulation, we prove that…

We consider a model-independent pricing problem in a fixed-income market and show that it leads to a weak optimal transport problem as introduced by Gozlan et al. We use this to characterize the extremal models for the pricing of caplets on…

This paper deals with the reconstruction of the desired demand in an optimal control problem, stated over a tree-shaped transportation network which is governed by a linear hyperbolic conservation law. As desired demands typically undergo…

We propose a duality theory for multi-marginal repulsive cost that appear in optimal transport problems arising in Density Functional Theory. The related optimization problems involve probabilities on the entire space and, as minimizing…

The Monge-Kantorovich problem is revisited by means of a variant of the saddle-point method without appealing to $c$-conjugates. A new abstract characterization of the optimal plans is obtained in the case where the cost function takes…
