The quadratically regularized optimal transport problem has recently been considered in various applications where the coupling needs to be \emph{sparse}, i.e., the density of the coupling needs to be zero for a large subset of the product…

We study a rather general class of optimal "ballistic" transport problems for matrix-valued measures. These problems naturally arise, in the spirit of \emph{Y. Brenier. Comm. Math. Phys. (2018) 364(2) 579-605}, from a certain dual…
