We study the entropic regularizations of optimal transport problems under suitable summability assumptions on the point-wise transport cost. These summability assumptions already appear in the literature. However, we show that the weakest…

Let $R$ and $B$ be two point sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$, with $|R|+ |B| = n$ and where $d$ is a constant. Next, let $\lambda : R \cup B \to \mathbb{N}$ such that $\sum_{r \in R } \lambda(r) = \sum_{b \in B} \lambda(b)$ be demand functions over…

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…
