Sliced optimal transport reduces optimal transport on multi-dimensional domains to transport on the line. More precisely, sliced optimal transport is the concatenation of the well-known Radon transform and the cumulative density transform,…

Given a probability measure $\mu$ on the $n-$torus $T^n$ and a rotation vector $k\in R^n$, we ask wether there exists a minimizer to the integral $\int_{T^n} |\grad\phi+k|^2 d\mu$. This problem leads, naturally, to a class of elliptic PDE…

We study the optimal transportation mapping $\nabla \Phi : \mathbb{R}^d \mapsto \mathbb{R}^d$ pushing forward a probability measure $\mu = e^{-V} \ dx$ onto another probability measure $\nu = e^{-W} \ dx$. Following a classical approach of…

We describe some analogy between optimal transport and the Schr\"odinger problem where the transport cost is replaced by an entropic cost with a reference path measure. A dual Kantorovich type formulation and a Benamou-Brenier type…

In its most general form, the optimal transport problem is an infinite-dimensional optimization problem, yet certain notable instances admit closed-form solutions. We identify the common source of this tractability as \textit{symmetry} and…

We investigate the continuous optimal transport problem 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…

This paper deals with a variant of the optimal transportation problem. Given f $\in$ L 1 (R d , [0, 1]) and a cost function c $\in$ C(R d x R d) of the form c(x, y) = k(y -- x), we minimise $\int$ c d$\gamma$ among transport plans $\gamma$…
