We analyze a quantum version of the Monge--Kantorovich optimal transport problem. The quantum transport cost related to a Hermitian cost matrix $C$ is minimized over the set of all bipartite coupling states $\rho^{AB}$ with fixed reduced…

We show that, on a $2$-dimensional compact manifold, the optimal transport map in the semi-discrete random matching problem is well-approximated in the $L^2$-norm by identity plus the gradient of the solution to the Poisson problem $-\Delta…

The dual problem of optimal transportation in Lorentz-Finsler geometry is studied. It is shown that in general no solution exists even in the presence of an optimal coupling. Under natural assumptions dual solutions are established. It is…

We address the problem of optimal transport with a quadratic cost functional and a constraint on the flux through a constriction along the path. The constriction, conceptually represented by a toll station, limits the flow rate across. We…

We introduce folded optimal transport, as a method to extend a cost or distance defined on the extreme boundary of a convex to the whole convex, related to convex extension. This construction broadens the framework of standard optimal…

This paper concerns the regularity and geometry of the free boundary in the optimal partial transport problem for general cost functions. More specifically, we prove that a $C^1$ cost implies a locally Lipschitz free boundary. As an…

We comment on a recent article by H. L. Neal [Am. J. Phys. 66, 512 (1998)], in which an analytic expression for the Hohenberg-Kohn functional was derived for one-dimensional two-particle systems with the harmonic interaction. We argue that…
