Optimal transport (OT) theory focuses, among all maps $T:\mathbb{R}^d\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^d$ that can morph a probability measure onto another, on those that are the ``thriftiest'', i.e. such that the averaged cost $c(x, T(x))$ between…

We develop an $\e$-regularity theory at the boundary for a general class of Monge-Amp\`ere type equations arising in optimal transportation. As a corollary we deduce that optimal transport maps between H\"older densities supported on $C^2$…
