We establish a duality between L^p-Wasserstein control and L^q-gradient estimate in a general framework. Our result extends a known result for a heat flow on a Riemannian manifold. Especially, we can derive a Wasserstein control of a heat…

For a given $p\in[2,+\infty)$, we define the $p$-elastic energy $\mathscr{E}$ of a closed curve $\gamma:\mathbb{S}^1\to M$ immersed in a complete Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ as the sum of the length of the curve and the $L^p$--norm of its…
