For $0<p<+\infty$, we prove a global $W^{2,p}$-estimate for potentials of optimal transport maps between convex domains in the plane. Among the tools developed for that purpose are obliqueness in general convex domains and estimates for the…
This article studies problems of optimal transport, by embedding them in a general functional analytic framework of convex optimization. This provides a unified treatment of a large class of related problems in probability theory and allows…
Optimal transport has become part of the standard quantitative economics toolbox. It is the framework of choice to describe models of matching with transfers, but beyond that, it allows to: extend quantile regression; identify discrete…
We study a rather general class of optimal "ballistic" transport problems for matrix-valued measures. These problems naturally arise, in the spirit of \emph{Y. Brenier. Comm. Math. Phys. (2018) 364(2) 579-605}, from a certain dual…
We consider the problem of optimal exchange which can be formulated as a kind of optimal transportation problem. The existence of an optimal solution and a duality theorem for the optimal exchange problem are proved in case of completely…
In this paper, we prove existence of $L^p$-optimal transport maps with $p \in (1,\infty)$ in a class of branching metric spaces defined on $\mathbb{R}^N$. In particular, we introduce the notion of cylinder-like convex function and we prove…
We introduce a constrained optimal transport problem where origins $x$ can only be transported to destinations $y\geq x$. Our statistical motivation is to describe the sharp upper bound for the variance of the treatment effect $Y-X$ given…
We consider a Kantorovich potential associated to an optimal transportation problem between measures that are not necessarily absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure, but are comparable to the Lebesgue measure when…
We present a systematic derivation of three mathematical models of increasing complexity for optical design, based on Hamilton's characteristic functions and conservation of luminous flux, and briefly explain the connection with the…
Constraining the maximum likelihood density estimator to satisfy a sufficiently strong constraint, $\log-$concavity being a common example, has the effect of restoring consistency without requiring additional parameters. Since many results…
The regularity of the free boundary in optimal transportation is equivalent to that of the potential function along the free boundary. By establishing new geometric estimates of the free boundary and studying the second boundary value…
We consider an optimal transport problem with backward martingale constraint. The objective function is given by the scalar product of a pseudo-Euclidean space $S$. We show that the supremums over maps and plans coincide, provided that the…
We study the optimal contract problem in the \emph{combinatorial actions} framework of D\"utting et al.~[FOCS'21], where a principal delegates a project to an agent who chooses a subset of hidden, costly actions, and the resulting reward is…
We introduce the framework of quadratic-form optimal transport (QOT), whose transport cost has the form $\iint c\,\mathrm{d}\pi \otimes\mathrm{d}\pi$ for some coupling $\pi$ between two marginals. Interesting examples of quadratic-form…
We consider a class of convex optimization problems modelling temporal mass transport and mass change between two given mass distributions (the so-called dynamic formulation of unbalanced transport), where we focus on those models for which…
The present paper is a follow up of another one by A. O. Lopes, E. Oliveira and P. Thieullen which analyze ergodic transport problems. Our main focus will a more precise analysis of case where the maximizing probability is unique and is…
We study an entropic optimal transport problem in which the transport plan is penalized by a nonlinear convex functional acting on the coupling. We establish existence, uniqueness, and uniform a priori bounds for minimizers, and we show…
This paper focuses on martingale optimal transport problems when the martingales are assumed to have bounded quadratic variation. First, we give a result that characterizes the existence of a probability measure satisfying some convex…
We consider the minimization of the $h$-mass over normal $1$-currents in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with coefficients in $\mathbb{R}^m$ and prescribed boundary. This optimization is known as multi-material transport problem and used in the context of…
We express the mean curvature flow of Lagrangian submanifolds in pseudo-Riemannian manifolds endowed with the Kim-McCann-Warren metric within the framework of generalized mean curvature flow on Kim-McCann manifolds. While generalized mean…
