This paper deals with a variant of the optimal transportation problem. Given f $\in$ L 1 (R d , [0, 1]) and a cost function c $\in$ C(R d x R d) of the form c(x, y) = k(y -- x), we minimise $\int$ c d$\gamma$ among transport plans $\gamma$…

We study a multi-marginal optimal transport problem with surplus $b(x_{1}, \ldots, x_{m})=\sum_{\{i,j\}\in P} x_{i}\cdot x_{j}$, where $P\subseteq Q:=\{\{i,j\}: i, j \in \{1,2,...m\}, i \neq j\}$. We reformulate this problem by associating…
