Consider transportation of one distribution of mass onto another, chosen to optimize the total expected cost, where cost per unit mass transported from x to y is given by a smooth function c(x,y). If the source density f^+(x) is bounded…
Fix probability densities $f$ and $g$ on open sets $X \subset \mathbf{R}^m$ and $Y \subset \mathbf{R}^n$ with $m\ge n\ge1$. Consider transporting $f$ onto $g$ so as to minimize the cost $-s(x,y)$. We give a non-degeneracy condition (a) on…
In this paper we study two basic facts of optimal transportation on Wiener space W. Our first aim is to answer to the Monge Problem on the Wiener space endowed with the Sobolev type norm (k,gamma) to the power of p (cases p = 1 and p > 1…
We prove, using optimal transport tools, weighted Poincar'e inequalities for log-concave random vectors satisfying some centering conditions. We recover by this way similar results by Klartag and Barthe-Cordero-Erausquin for log-concave…
The aim of this short note is to extend the recent variational proof of partial regularity for optimal transport maps to the case of continuous densities.
In this essay, we discuss the notion of optimal transport on geodesic measure spaces and the associated (2-)Wasserstein distance. We then examine displacement convexity of the entropy functional on the space of probability measures. In…
Wasserstein projections in the convex order were first considered in the framework of weak optimal transport, and found application in various problems such as concentration inequalities and martingale optimal transport. In dimension one,…
We investigate finding a map $g$ within a function class $G$ that minimises an Optimal Transport (OT) cost between a target measure $\nu$ and the image by $g$ of a source measure $\mu$. This is relevant when an OT map from $\mu$ to $\nu$…
We show that a class of Poincar\'e-Wirtinger inequalities on bounded convex sets can be obtained by means of the dynamical formulation of Optimal Transport. This is a consequence of a more general result valid for convex sets, possibly…
We investigate the estimation of an optimal transport map between probability measures on an infinite-dimensional space and reveal its minimax optimal rate. Optimal transport theory defines distances within a space of probability measures,…
This paper focuses on computing the convex conjugate (also known as the Legendre-Fenchel conjugate or c-transform) that appears in Euclidean Wasserstein-2 optimal transport. This conjugation is considered difficult to compute and in…
We provide a framework to approximate the 2-Wasserstein distance and the optimal transport map, amenable to efficient training as well as statistical and geometric analysis. With the quadratic cost and considering the Kantorovich dual form…
In this paper, we prove existence of $L^p$-optimal transport maps with $p \in (1,\infty)$ in a class of branching metric spaces defined on $\mathbb{R}^N$. In particular, we introduce the notion of cylinder-like convex function and we prove…
This paper focuses on martingale optimal transport problems when the martingales are assumed to have bounded quadratic variation. First, we give a result that characterizes the existence of a probability measure satisfying some convex…
In the current book I suggest an off-road path to the subject of optimal transport. I tried to avoid prior knowledge of analysis, PDE theory and functional analysis, as much as possible. Thus I concentrate on discrete and semi-discrete…
We study the regularity of solutions to an optimal transportation problem where the dimension of the source is larger than that of the target. We demonstrate that if the target is $c$-convex, then the source has a canonical foliation whose…
This paper deals with the existence of optimal transport maps for some optimal transport problems with a convex but non strictly convex cost. We give a decomposition strategy to address this issue. As part of our strategy, we have to treat…

We consider the problem to transport resources/mass while abiding by constraints on the flow through constrictions along their path between specified terminal distributions. Constrictions, conceptualized as toll stations at specified…
