The goal of the present work is three-fold. The first goal is to set foundational results on optimal transport in Lorentzian (pre-)length spaces, including cyclical monotonicity, stability of optimal couplings and Kantorovich duality…
Optimal control is ubiquitous in many fields of engineering. A common technique to find candidate solutions is via Pontryagin's maximum principle. An unfortunate aspect of this method is that the dimension of system doubles. When the system…
