In this paper, we investigate Monge-Kantorovich problems for which the absolute continuity of marginals is relaxed. For $X,Y\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ let $(X,\mathcal{B}_X,\mu)$ and $(Y,\mathcal{B}_Y,\nu)$ be two Borel probability spaces,…

We consider a Kantorovich potential associated to an optimal transportation problem between measures that are not necessarily absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure, but are comparable to the Lebesgue measure when…
In the field of optimal transport, two prominent subfields face each other: (i) unregularized optimal transport, "\`a-la-Kantorovich", which leads to extremely sparse plans but with algorithms that scale poorly, and (ii)…
We address optimal control problems on the space of measures for an objective containing a smooth functional and an optimal transport regularization. That is, the quadratic Monge-Kantorovich distance between a given prior measure and the…
The Monge-Kantorovich problem for the infinite Wasserstein distance presents several peculiarities. Among them the lack of convexity and then of a direct duality. We study in dimension 1 the dual problem introduced by Barron, Bocea and…
