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…

In this paper, we introduce a variant of optimal transport adapted to the causal structure given by an underlying directed graph $G$. Different graph structures lead to different specifications of the optimal transport problem. For…
