Optimal transport has recently been brought forward as a tool for modeling and efficiently solving a variety of flow problems, such as origin-destination problems and multi-commodity flow problems. Although the framework has shown to be…

We consider so-called branched transport and variants thereof in two space dimensions. In these models one seeks an optimal transportation network for a given mass transportation task. In two space dimensions, they are closely connected to…

We introduce a constrained optimal transport problem where origins $x$ can only be transported to destinations $y\geq x$. Our statistical motivation is to describe the sharp upper bound for the variance of the treatment effect $Y-X$ given…
