Given two probability measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ in "convex order" on $\R^d$, we study the profile of one-step martingale plans $\pi$ on $\R^d\times \R^d$ that optimize the expected value of the modulus of their increment among all…

We provide a pointwise bipolar theorem for liminf-closed convex sets of positive Borel measurable functions on a sigma-compact metric space without the assumption that the polar is a tight set of measures. As applications we derive a…

We introduce convex integrals of molecules in Lipschitz-free spaces $\mathcal{F}(M)$ as a continuous counterpart of convex series considered elsewhere, based on the de Leeuw representation. Using optimal transport theory, we show that these…

We provide a unifying interpretation of various optimal transport problems as a minimisation of a linear functional over the set of all Choquet representations of a given pair of probability measures ordered with respect to a certain convex…

We study measurable spaces equipped with a $\sigma$-ideal of negligible sets. We find conditions under which they admit a localizable locally determined version -- a kind of fiber space that describes locally their directions -- defined by…

We consider Monge-Kantorovich optimal transport problems on $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\ge 1$, with a convex cost function given by the cumulant generating function of a probability measure. Examples include the Wasserstein-2 transport whose cost…

Many problems in machine learning involve calculating correspondences between sets of objects, such as point clouds or images. Discrete optimal transport provides a natural and successful approach to such tasks whenever the two sets of…

For probability measures $\mu,\nu$ and $\rho$ define the cost functionals \begin{align*} C(\mu,\rho):=\sup_{\pi\in \Pi(\mu,\rho)} \int \langle x,y\rangle\, \pi(dx,dy),\quad C(\nu,\rho):=\sup_{\pi\in \Pi(\nu,\rho)} \int \langle x,y\rangle\,…

We consider optimal transport problems where the cost for transporting a given probability measure $\mu_0$ to another one $\mu_1$ consists of two parts: the first one measures the transportation from $\mu_0$ to an intermediate (pivot)…
