Optimal transport aims to estimate a transportation plan that minimizes a displacement cost. This is realized by optimizing the scalar product between the sought plan and the given cost, over the space of doubly stochastic matrices. When…

We present a primal-dual dynamical formulation of the multi-marginal optimal transport problem for (semi-)convex cost functions. Even in the two-marginal setting, this formulation applies to cost functions not covered by the classical…

We consider the Monge-Kantorovich transport problem in a purely measure theoretic setting, i.e. without imposing continuity assumptions on the cost function. It is known that transport plans which are concentrated on c-monotone sets are…

Generally, in transportation problem, full vehicles (e.g., light commercial vehicles, medium duty and heavy duty trucks, etc.) are to be booked, and transportation cost of a vehicle has to be paid irrespective of the fulfilment of the…

We consider optimal transport problems where the cost is optimized over controlled dynamics and the end time is free. Unlike the classical setting, the search for optimal transport plans also requires the identification of optimal "stopping…

Discrete optimal transport solvers do not scale well on dense large problems since they do not explicitly exploit the geometric structure of the cost function. In analogy to continuous optimal transport we provide a framework to verify…

In this work, we solve a discrete optimal transport problem in a nonuniform environment. To solve the optimal transport problem, we build the cost matrix and then use classical solvers for discrete optimal transport. The challenge is to…

We study a multi-marginal optimal transportation problem with a cost function of the form $c(x_{1}, \ldots,x_{m})=\sum_{k=1}^{m-1}|x_{k}-x_{k+1}|^{2} + |x_{m}- F(x_{1})|^{2}$, where $F: \mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^n$. When $m=4$,…

We derive nearly tight and non-asymptotic convergence bounds for solutions of entropic semi-discrete optimal transport. These bounds quantify the stability of the dual solutions of the regularized problem (sometimes called Sinkhorn…

We study optimal mass transport problems between two measures with respect to a non-traditional cost function, i.e. a cost $c$ which can attain the value $+\infty$. We define the notion of $c$-compatibility and strong-$c$-compatibility of…
