Consider the Monge-Kantorovich problem of transporting densities $\rho_0$ to $\rho_1$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ with a strictly convex cost function. A popular relaxation of the problem is the one-parameter family called the entropic cost problem.…

The optimal mass transportation was introduced by Monge some 200 years ago and is, today, the source of large number of results in analysis, geometry and convexity. Here I investigate a new, surprising link between optimal transformations…
