Weak optimal transport generalizes the classical theory of optimal transportation to nonlinear cost functions and covers a range of problems that lie beyond the traditional theory - including entropic transport, martingale transport, and…

The optimal (Monge-Kantorovich) transportation problem is discussed from several points of view. The Lagrangian formulation extends the action of the {\em Lagrangian} $L(v,x,t)$ from the set of orbits in $\R^n$ to a set of measure-valued…
