The Monge-Amp\`{e}re equation arises in the theory of optimal transport. When more complicated cost functions are involved in the optimal transportation problem, which are motivated e.g. from economics, the corresponding equation for the…

We consider optimal transport problems where the cost for transporting a given probability measure $\mu_0$ to another one $\mu_1$ consists of two parts: the first one measures the transportation from $\mu_0$ to an intermediate (pivot)…

We investigate the properties of convex functions in the plane that satisfy a local inequality which generalizes the notion of sub-solution of Monge-Ampere equation for a Monge-Kantorovich problem with quadratic cost between non-absolutely…

In this paper, we investigate Monge-Kantorovich problems for which the absolute continuity of marginals is relaxed. For $X,Y\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ let $(X,\mathcal{B}_X,\mu)$ and $(Y,\mathcal{B}_Y,\nu)$ be two Borel probability spaces,…

Inspired by the matching of supply to demand in logistical problems, the optimal transport (or Monge--Kantorovich) problem involves the matching of probability distributions defined over a geometric domain such as a surface or manifold. In…

We consider Kantorovich optimal transportation problem in the case where the cost function and marginal distributions continuously depend on a parameter with values in a metric space. We prove the existence of approximate optimal Monge…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition on the cost function so that the map solution of Monge's optimal transportation problem is continuous for arbitrary smooth positive data. This condition was first introduced by Ma, Trudinger and…

It is well known that martingale transport plans between marginals $\mu\neq\nu$ are never given by Monge maps -- with the understanding that the map is over the first marginal $\mu$, or forward in time. Here, we change the perspective, with…

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…

We consider an optimal transport problem between laws of random probability measures: given a base cost function, we build the associated OT cost between probability measures that in turn we use to define the OT cost between probability…
