In this paper, we study optimal transportation problems for multifractal random measures. Since these measures are much less regular than optimal transportation theory requires, we introduce a new notion of transportation which is…

We propose a discrete transport equation on graphs which connects distributions on both vertices and edges. We then derive a discrete analogue of the Benamou-Brenier formulation for Wasserstein-$1$ distance on a graph and as a result…

For the Monge-Amp\`ere equation with a right-hand side bounded away from 0 and infinity, we show that the solution, subject to the natural boundary condition arising in optimal transport, is in $W^{2,1+\varepsilon}$ up to the boundary.

We show that a certain entropy-like function is convex, under an optimal transport problem that is adapted to Ricci flow. We use this to reprove the monotonicity of Perelman's reduced volume.

In the semi-discrete version of Monge's problem one tries to find a transport map $T$ with minimum cost from an absolutely continuous measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ to a discrete measure $\nu$ that is supported on a finite set in…

We address the Monge problem in metric spaces with a geodesic distance: (X, d) is a Polish space and dN is a geodesic Borel distance which makes (X,dN) a possibly branching geodesic space. We show that under some assumptions on the…
