We introduce and study a new optimal transport problem on a bounded domain $\bar\Omega \subset \mathbb R^d$, defined via a dynamical Benamou-Brenier formulation. The model handles differently the motion in the interior and on the boundary,…

We develop an $\e$-regularity theory at the boundary for a general class of Monge-Amp\`ere type equations arising in optimal transportation. As a corollary we deduce that optimal transport maps between H\"older densities supported on $C^2$…

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 prove uniqueness for minimizers of the weighted least gradient problem \[\inf \left\lbrace \int_{\Omega} a|Du|: \ \ u\in BV(\Omega), \ \ u|_{\partial \Omega}=f \right\rbrace.\] The weight function $a$ is assumed to be continuous and it…

We investigate finding a map $g$ within a function class $G$ that minimises an Optimal Transport (OT) cost between a target measure $\nu$ and the image by $g$ of a source measure $\mu$. This is relevant when an OT map from $\mu$ to $\nu$…

In the optimal partial transport problem, one is asked to transport a fraction $0<m \leq \min\{||f||_{L^1}, ||g||_{L^1}\}$ of the mass of $f=f \chi_\Omega$ onto $g=g\chi_\Lambda$ while minimizing a transportation cost. If $f$ and $g$ are…
