The multistochastic $ (n,k)$-Monge--Kantorovich problem on a product space $\prod_{i=1}^n X_i$ is an extension of the classical Monge--Kantorovich problem. This problem is considered on the space of measures with fixed projections onto…

Two probability distributions $\mu$ and $\nu$ in second stochastic order can be coupled by a supermartingale, and in fact by many. Is there a canonical choice? We construct and investigate two couplings which arise as optimizers for…
