The aim of this paper is to obtain quantitative bounds for solutions to the optimal matching problem in dimension two. These bounds show that up to a logarithmically divergent shift, the optimal transport maps are close to be the identity…

We compute exact second-order asymptotics for the cost of an optimal solution to the entropic optimal transport problem in the continuous-to-discrete, or semi-discrete, setting. In contrast to the discrete-discrete or continuous-continuous…

The Monge-Amp\`{e}re equation arises in the theory of optimal transport. When more complicated cost functions are involved in the optimal transportation problem, which are motivated e.g. from economics, the corresponding equation for the…

We develop a non-local method to establish the asymptotic expansion at infinity of solutions to Monge-Amp\`{e}re equation $\det(D^2v)=f$ on $\rn$, where $f$ is a perturbation of $1$ and is only assumed to be H\"{o}lder continuous outside a…

We rephrase Monge's optimal transportation (OT) problem with quadratic cost--via a Monge-Amp\`ere equation--as an infinite-dimensional optimization problem, which is in fact a convex problem when the target is a log-concave measure with…

Monte Carlo approximations for random linear elliptic PDE constrained optimization problems are studied. We use empirical process theory to obtain best possible mean convergence rates $O(n^{-\frac{1}{2}})$ for optimal values and solutions,…
