The $L^1$ optimal transport density $\mu^*$ is the unique $L^\infty$ solution of the Monge-Kantorovich equations. It has been recently characterized also as the unique minimizer of the $L^1$ -transport energy functional E. In the present…

A natural and important question in multi-marginal optimal transport is whether the \emph{Monge ansatz} is justified; does there exist a solution of Monge, or deterministic, form? We address this question for the quadratic cost when each…
