The classical problem of optimal transportation can be formulated as a linear optimization problem on a convex domain: among all joint measures with fixed marginals find the optimal one, where optimality is measured against a cost function.…

We consider the classical obstacle problem on bounded, connected Lipschitz domains $D \subset \mathbb{R}^n$. We derive quantitative bounds on the changes to contact sets under general perturbations to both the right hand side and the…

We give a new proof for the interior regularity of strictly convex solutions of the Monge-Amp\`ere equation. Our approach uses a doubling inequality for the Hessian in terms of the extrinsic distance function on the maximal Lagrangian…

This work builds the connection between the regularity theory of optimal transportation map, Monge-Amp\`{e}re equation and GANs, which gives a theoretic understanding of the major drawbacks of GANs: convergence difficulty and mode collapse.…

In this manuscript, we delve into the study of maps $u\in W^{1,2}(\Omega;\overline M)$ that minimize the Alt-Caffarelli energy functional $$ \int_\Omega (|Du|^2 + q^2 \chi_{u^{-1}(M)})\,dx, $$ under the condition that the image $u(\Omega)$…

It is known from clever mathematical examples \cite{Ca10} that the Monge ansatz may fail in continuous two-marginal optimal transport (alias optimal coupling alias optimal assignment) problems. Here we show that this effect already occurs…

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…

We study convex solutions to the Monge-Amp\`ere obstacle problem \[ \operatorname{det} D^2 v=g v^q\chi_{\{v>0\}}, \quad v \geq 0, \] where $q \in [0,n)$ is a constant and $g$ is a bounded positive function. This problem emerges from the…
