We examine the effectiveness of packet routing in this model for the broad class next-hop preferences with filtering. Here each node v has a filtering list D(v) consisting of nodes it does not want its packets to route through. Acceptable…

Adapted optimal transport (AOT) problems are optimal transport problems for distributions of a time series where couplings are constrained to have a temporal causal structure. In this paper, we develop computational tools for solving AOT…

We study the optimal transport problem for pairs of stationary finite-state Markov chains, with an emphasis on the computation of optimal transition couplings. Transition couplings are a constrained family of transport plans that capture…

We introduce graphs associated to transport problems between discrete marginals, that allow to characterize the set of all optimizers given one primal optimizer. In particular, we establish that connectivity of those graphs is a necessary…

We consider some repulsive multimarginal optimal transportation problems which include, as a particular case, the Coulomb cost. We prove a regularity property of the minimizers (optimal transportation plan) from which we deduce existence…

We study an extensive class of movement minimization problems which arise from many practical scenarios but so far have little theoretical study. In general, these problems involve planning the coordinated motion of a collection of agents…

In this work, we investigate an optimization problem over adapted couplings between pairs of real valued random variables, possibly describing random times. We relate those couplings to a specific class of causal transport plans between…

We study MinMax solution methods for a general class of optimization problems related to (and including) optimal transport. Theoretically, the focus is on fitting a large class of problems into a single MinMax framework and generalizing…

We study the regularity of solutions to an optimal transportation problem where the dimension of the source is larger than that of the target. We demonstrate that if the target is $c$-convex, then the source has a canonical foliation whose…

The aim of this article is to show that the Monge-Kantorovich problem is the limit of a sequence of entropy minimization problems when a fluctuation parameter tends down to zero. We prove the convergence of the entropic values to the…
