We study the regularity of the interface for a new free boundary problem introduced by Caffarelli and Kriventsov. We show that for minimizers of the functional \[ F_1(A,u) = \int_A |\nabla u|^2 d\mathcal{L}^n + \int_{\partial A} u^2 +…

We rephrase Monge's optimal transportation (OT) problem with quadratic cost--via a Monge-Amp\`ere equation--as an infinite-dimensional optimization problem, which is in fact a convex problem when the target is a log-concave measure with…
