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…
This paper studies the geometry of the optimizer for the optimal transport problem with capacity constraints. We introduce the concept of c-capacity monotonicity, which is a generalization of c-cyclical monotonicity in optimal transport. We…
We consider the Monge problem of optimal transport between a compactly supported source measure and a target probability measure with unbounded support. We consider the convergence of optimal maps and potential functions when the target…
We exhibit a surprising relationship between elliptic gradient systems of PDEs, multi-marginal Monge-Kantorovich optimal transport problem, and multivariable Hardy-Littlewood inequalities. We show that the notion of an orientable elliptic…
We investigate a new multi-marginal optimal transport problem arising from a dissociation model in the Strong Interaction Limit of Density Functional Theory. In this short note, we introduce such dissociation model, the corresponding…
An analogue of the quadratic Wasserstein (or Monge-Kantorovich) distance between Borel probability measures on $\mathbf{R}^d$ has been defined in [F. Golse, C. Mouhot, T. Paul: Commun. Math. Phys. 343 (2015), 165-205] for density operators…
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.…
In this paper, we develop several related finite dimensional variational principles for discrete optimal transport (DOT), Minkowski type problems for convex polytopes and discrete Monge-Ampere equation (DMAE). A link between the discrete…
For probability measures on a complete separable metric space, we present sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution to the Kantorovich transportation problem. We also obtain sufficient conditions (which sometimes also become…

The fundamental theorem of classical optimal transport establishes strong duality and characterizes optimizers through a complementary slackness condition. Milestones such as Brenier's theorem and the Kantorovich-Rubinstein formula are…
We give the solution of the Monge-Kantorovitch problem on the Wiener space for the singular Wasserstein metric which is defined with respect to the distance of the underlying Cameron-Martin space. We show, under the hypothesis that this…
Some optimization or equilibrium problems involving somehow the concept of optimal transport are presented in these notes, mainly devoted to applications to economic and game theory settings. A variant model of transport, taking into…
We study the Monge and Kantorovich transportation problems on $\mathbb{R}^{\infty}$ within the class of exchangeable measures. With the help of the de Finetti decomposition theorem the problem is reduced to an unconstrained optimal…

In this work we analyze regularized optimal transport problems in the so-called Kantorovich form, i.e. given two Radon measures on two compact sets, the aim is to find a transport plan, which is another Radon measure on the product of the…
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…
