We study a dynamic optimal transport problem on a network. Despite the cost for transport along the edges, an additional cost, scaled with a parameter $\kappa$, has to be paid for interchanging mass between edges and vertices. We show…

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.…
