This paper introduces two variational formulations for a model of robust optimal transport, that is, the problem of designing optimal transport networks that are resilient to potential damages, balancing construction costs against the…
We study a dynamic optimal transport type problem on a domain that consists of two parts: a compact set $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ (bulk) and a non-intersecting and sufficiently regular curve $\Gamma \subset \Omega$. On each of them, a…

Thermal convection driven by internal heat sources and sinks was recently shown experimentally to exhibit the mixing-length, or "ultimate", scaling-regime: the Nusselt number $Nu$ (dimensionless heat flux) increases as the square-root of…

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 study dynamic network flows with uncertain input data under a robust optimization perspective. In the dynamic maximum flow problem, the goal is to maximize the flow reaching the sink within a given time horizon $T$, while flow requires a…
We propose a model of optimal parallel transport between vector fields on a connection graph, which consists of a weighted graph along with a map from its edges to an orthogonal group. Inspired by the well-known equivalence of 1-Wasserstein…
