In this paper, we establish a regularity theory for the optimal transport problem when the target is composed of two disjoint convex domains. This is an important model in which singularities arise. Even though the singular set does not…
In this note, we derive upper-bounds on the statistical estimation rates of unbalanced optimal transport (UOT) maps for the quadratic cost. Our work relies on the stability of the semi-dual formulation of optimal transport (OT) extended to…

We consider optimal transport based distributionally robust optimization (DRO) problems with locally strongly convex transport cost functions and affine decision rules. Under conventional convexity assumptions on the underlying loss…
We provide a new proof of the known partial regularity result for the optimal transportation map (Brenier map) between two sets. Contrary to the existing regularity theory for the Monge-Amp{\`e}re equation, which is based on the maximum…
In this paper, we study the optimal transportation for generalized Lagrangian $L=L(x, u,t)$, and consider the cost function as following: $$c(x, y)=\inf_{\substack{x(0)=x\\x(1)=y\\u\in\mathcal{U}}}\int_0^1L(x(s), u(x(s),s), s)ds.$$ Where…
We investigate the optimal mass transport problem associated to the following "ballistic" cost functional on phase space $M\times M^*$, $$ b_T(v, x):=\inf\{\langle v, \gamma (0)\rangle +\int_0^TL(\gamma (t), {\dot \gamma}(t))\, dt, \gamma…
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…
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…
We investigate the transportation problem under a Monge cost structure and derive compact formulas for optimal dual solutions based on the northwest-corner rule. As an application illustrating how these formulas yield structural insight…
We establish existence of global-in-time weak solutions to the one dimensional, compressible Navier-Stokes system for a viscous and heat conducting ideal polytropic gas (pressure $p=K\theta/\tau$, internal energy $e=c_v \theta$), when the…
We investigate an analogue of the irreducible convex paving in the context of generalised convexity. Consider two Radon probability measures $\mu,\nu$ ordered with respect to a cone $\mathcal{F}$ of functions on $\Omega$ stable under…
We introduce a new variant of the weak optimal transport problem where mass is distributed from one space to the other through unnormalized kernels. We give sufficient conditions for primal attainment and prove a dual formula for this…
Optimal transport has found widespread applications in signal processing and machine learning. Among its many equivalent formulations, optimal transport seeks to reconstruct a random variable/vector with a prescribed distribution at the…
We consider the modified Monge-Kantorovich problem with additional restriction: admissible transport plans must vanish on some fixed functional subspace. Different choice of the subspace leads to different additional properties optimal…
This paper introduces a dynamic formulation of divergence-regularized optimal transport with weak targets on the path space. In our formulation, the classical relative entropy penalty is replaced by a general convex divergence, and terminal…
We consider an optimal transportation problem with more than two marginals. We use a family of semi-Riemannian metrics derived from the mixed, second order partial derivatives of the cost function to provide upper bounds for the dimension…
We investigate the convergence rate of multi-marginal optimal transport costs that are regularized with the Boltzmann-Shannon entropy, as the noise parameter $\varepsilon$ tends to $0$. We establish lower and upper bounds on the difference…
In this paper we derive new second-order optimality conditions for a very general set-constrained optimization problem where the underlying set may be nononvex. We consider local optimality in specific directions (i.e., optimal in a…
