We consider the problem of optimal approximation of a target measure by an atomic measure with $N$ atoms, in branched optimal transport distance. This is a new branched transport version of optimal quantization problems. New difficulties…

Optimal transport maps and plans between two absolutely continuous measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ can be approximated by solving semi-discrete or fully-discrete optimal transport problems. These two problems ensue from approximating $\mu$ or both…

Optimal transport induces the Earth Mover's (Wasserstein) distance between probability distributions, a geometric divergence that is relevant to a wide range of problems. Over the last decade, two relaxations of optimal transport have been…

A key inequality which underpins the regularity theory of optimal transport for costs satisfying the Ma--Trudinger--Wang condition is the Pogorelov second derivative bound. This translates to an apriori interior $C^1$ estimate for smooth…
