Given two compact metric spaces $X$ and $Y$, a Lipschitz continuous cost function $c$ on $X \times Y$ and two probabilities $\mu \in\mathcal{P}(X),\,\nu\in\mathcal{P}(Y)$, we propose to study the Monge-Kantorovich problem and its duality…

A basic idea in optimal transport is that optimizers can be characterized through a geometric property of their support sets called cyclical monotonicity. In recent years, similar "monotonicity principles" have found applications in other…
This paper is concerned with an optimization problem governed by the Kantorovich optimal transportation problem. This gives rise to a bilevel optimization problem, which can be reformulated as a mathematical problem with complementarity…
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…

The quadratically regularized optimal transport problem has recently been considered in various applications where the coupling needs to be \emph{sparse}, i.e., the density of the coupling needs to be zero for a large subset of the product…
We present generalized versions of Monge's and Kantorovich's optimal transport problems with the probabilities being transported replaced by lower probabilities. We show that, when the lower probabilities are the lower envelopes of…
The \emph{Schr\"odinger problem} is obtained by replacing the mean square distance with the relative entropy in the Monge-Kantorovich problem. It was first addressed by Schr\"odinger as the problem of describing the most likely evolution of…
Modern methods of generative modelling and unpaired data translation based on Schr\"odinger bridges and stochastic optimal control theory aim to transform an initial density to a target one in an optimal way. In the present paper, we assume…
We consider the simultaneous optimal transportation of measures, where the target marginal is not necessarily fixed. For this problem, we prove the existence of a solution for completely regular spaces and investigate the structure of the…
We investigate the problem of optimal transport 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 has these…
