The main result of this paper is the existence of an optimal transport map $T$ between two given measures $\mu$ and $\nu$, for a cost which considers the maximal oscillation of $T$ at scale $\delta$, given by…
Optimal transportation theory and the related $p$-Wasserstein distance ($W_p$, $p\geq 1$) are widely-applied in statistics and machine learning. In spite of their popularity, inference based on these tools has some issues. For instance, it…

For probability measures $\mu,\nu$ and $\rho$ define the cost functionals \begin{align*} C(\mu,\rho):=\sup_{\pi\in \Pi(\mu,\rho)} \int \langle x,y\rangle\, \pi(dx,dy),\quad C(\nu,\rho):=\sup_{\pi\in \Pi(\nu,\rho)} \int \langle x,y\rangle\,…
