Let $X$ be a finite set and $\Omega=\{1,...,d\}^{\mathbb{N}}$ be the Bernoulli space. Denote by $\sigma$ the shift map acting on $\Omega$. For a fixed probability $\mu$ on $X$ with supp($\mu$)$=X$, define $\Pi(\mu,\sigma)$ as the set of all…
We investigate existence of dual optimizers in one-dimensional martingale optimal transport problems. While [BNT16] established such existence for weak (quasi-sure) duality, [BHP13] showed existence for the natural stronger pointwise…
We prove the Duality Theorems for the stochastic optimal transportation problems with a convex cost function without a regularity assumption that is often supposed in the proof of the lower semicontinuity of an action integral. In our new…
In this manuscript we study the following optimization problem with volume constraint: \[ \min\left\{\frac{1}{p}\int_{\Omega} |\nabla v|^pdx- \int_{\partial \Omega} gv\,dS \colon v \in W^{1, p} \left(\Omega\right), \text{ and } |\{v>0\}|…
In this paper, we introduce a primal-dual algorithm for solving (martingale) optimal transportation problems, with cost functions satisfying the twist condition, close to the one that has been used recently for training generative…
We propose a model to describe the optimal distributions of residents and services in a prescribed urban area. The cost functional takes into account the transportation costs (according to a Monge--Kantorovich-type criterion) and two…
We study the Monge--Kantorovich problem with one-dimensional marginals $\mu$ and $\nu$ and the cost function $c = \min\{l_1, \ldots, l_n\}$ that equals the minimum of a finite number $n$ of affine functions $l_i$ satisfying certain…
We consider the multi-marginal optimal transport of aligning several compactly supported marginals on the Heisenberg group to minimize the total cost, which we take to be the sum of the squared Carnot-Carath\'eodory distances from the…
A natural and important question in multi-marginal optimal transport is whether the \emph{Monge ansatz} is justified; does there exist a solution of Monge, or deterministic, form? We address this question for the quadratic cost when each…
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…
We present a general method, based on conjugate duality, for solving a convex minimization problem without assuming unnecessary topological restrictions on the constraint set. It leads to dual equalities and characterizations of the…
In the first part of the paper we briefly decribe the classical problem, raised by Monge in 1781, of optimal transportation of mass. We discuss also Kantorovich's weak solution of the problem, which leads to general existence results, to a…
In this work, we show the intrinsic relations between optimal transportation and convex geometry, especially the variational approach to solve Alexandrov problem: constructing a convex polytope with prescribed face normals and volumes. This…
Optimal transportation with capacity constraints, a variant of the well-known optimal transportation problem, is concerned with transporting one probability density $f \in L^1(\mathbb{R}^m)$ onto another one $g \in L^1(\mathbb{R}^n)$ so as…
Consider the shift $\sigma$ acting on the Bernoulli space $\Sigma={1,2,...,n}^\mathbb{N}$. We denote $\hat{\Sigma}= {1,2,...,n}^\mathbb{Z}$. We analyze several properties of the maximizing probability $\mu_{\infty,A}$ of a Holder potential…
This paper is concerned with six variational problems and their mutual connections: The quadratic Monge-Kantorovich optimal transport, the Schr\"odinger problem, Brenier's relaxed model for incompressible fluids, the so-called Br\"odinger…
We study the Lagrangian formulation of a class of the Monge-Kantorovich optimal transportation problem. It can be considered a stochastic optimal transportation problem for absolutely continuous stochastic processes. A cost function and…
We consider weak optimal problems (possibly entropically penalized) incorporating both soft and hard (including the case of the martingale condition) moment constraints. Even in the special case of the martingale optimal transport problem,…
We show that transport in the presence of entropic barriers exhibits peculiar characteristics which makes it distinctly different from that occurring through energy barriers. The constrained dynamics yields a scaling regime for the particle…
The classical Kantorovich-Rubinstein duality theorem establishes a significant connection between Monge optimal transport and maximization of a linear form on the set of 1-Lipschitz functions. This result has been widely used in various…
