In this note, we present a unified approach to the problem of existence of a potential for the optimal transport problem with respect to non-traditional cost functions, that is, costs that assume infinite values. We establish a new method…

Given a positive l.s.c. convex function $\mathtt c : \mathbb R^d \to \mathbb R^d$ and an optimal transference plane $\underline{\pi}$ for the transportation problem \begin{equation*} \int \mathtt c(x'-x) \pi(dxdx'), \end{equation*} we show…

We study the structure of martingale transports in finite dimensions. We consider the family $\mathcal{M}(\mu,\nu) $ of martingale measures on $\mathbb{R}^N \times \mathbb{R}^N$ with given marginals $\mu,\nu$, and construct a family of…

This article gives an introduction to optimal transport, a mathematical theory that makes it possible to measure distances between functions (or distances between more general objects), to interpolate between objects or to enforce…

In this paper, we study the optimal transport problem induced by separable cost functions. In this framework, transportation can be expressed as the composition of two lower-dimensional movements. Through this reformulation, we prove that…

We investigate the problem of pairwise multi-marginal optimal transport, that is, given a collection of probability distributions $\{P_\alpha\}$ on a Polish space $\mathcal{X}$, to find a coupling $\{X_\alpha\}$, $X_\alpha\sim P_\alpha$,…

We study the small-regularisation limit of the entropic optimal transport problem on the line with distance cost. While convergence of entropic minimizers is well understood in the discrete setting and in the case where the cost is…

We investigate the problem of optimal transport in the so-called Kantorovich form, i.e. given two Radon measures on two compact sets, we seek an optimal transport plan which is another Radon measure on the product of the sets that has these…
