For probability measures on a complete separable metric space, we present sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution to the Kantorovich transportation problem. We also obtain sufficient conditions (which sometimes also become…
An analogue of the quadratic Wasserstein (or Monge-Kantorovich) distance between Borel probability measures on $\mathbf{R}^d$ has been defined in [F. Golse, C. Mouhot, T. Paul: Commun. Math. Phys. 343 (2015), 165-205] for density operators…
The duality theory of the Monge-Kantorovich transport problem is investigated in an abstract measure theoretic framework. Let $(\mathcal{X},\mathcal{F},\mu)$ and $(\mathcal{Y},\mathcal{G},\nu)$ be any probability spaces and…
We develop a theory of optimal transport relative to a distinguished subset, which acts as a reservoir of mass, allowing us to compare measures of different total variation. This relative transportation problem has an optimal solution and…
We introduce a general notion of transport cost that encompasses many costs used in the literature (including the classical one and weak transport costs introduced by Talagrand and Marton in the 90's), and prove a Kantorovich type duality…
We study optimal transport between probability measures supported on the same finite metric space, where the ground cost is a distance induced by a weighted connected graph. Building on recent work showing that the resulting Kantorovich…
Let $X,Y$ be two finite sets of points having $\#X = m$ and $\#Y = n$ points with $\mu = (1/m) \sum_{i=1}^{m} \delta_{x_i}$ and $\nu = (1/n) \sum_{j=1}^{n} \delta_{y_j}$ being the associated uniform probability measures. A result of…
We consider a Kantorovich potential associated to an optimal transportation problem between measures that are not necessarily absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure, but are comparable to the Lebesgue measure when…
This note exposes the differential topology and geometry underlying some of the basic phenomena of optimal transportation. It surveys basic questions concerning Monge maps and Kantorovich measures: existence and regularity of the former,…
In this work we derive a convex dual representation for increasing convex functionals on a space of real-valued Borel measurable functions defined on a countable product of metric spaces. Our main assumption is that the functionals fulfill…
The Gaussian surface area measure and the Gaussian cone measure for $C$-pseudo-cones are introduced and their corresponding Gaussian Minkowski problem and Gaussian log-Minkowski problem are proposed, respectively. The existence and…
The Gaussian surface area measures for $C$-pseudo-cones are studied in this paper. Using the variational arguments and the approximation methods of Schneider, we obtain the existence of solutions to the Gaussian-Minkowski problem for…
Kantorovich potentials denote the dual solutions of the renowned optimal transportation problem. Uniqueness of these solutions is relevant from both a theoretical and an algorithmic point of view, and has recently emerged as a necessary…
The optimal transportation problem, first suggested by Gaspard Monge in the 18th century and later revived in the 1940s by Leonid Kantorovich, deals with the question of transporting a certain measure to another, using transport maps or…
We propose an extension of the computational fluid mechanics approach to the Monge-Kantorovich mass transfer problem, which was developed by Benamou-Brenier. Our extension allows optimal transfer of unnormalized and unequal masses. We…
We consider $C$-pseudo-cones, that is, closed convex sets $K \subset{\mathbb R}^n$ with $o\notin K\subset C$, for which $C$ is the recession cone. Here $C$ is a given closed convex cone in ${\mathbb R}^n$, pointed and with nonempty…
We investigate the continuous optimal transport problem in the so-called Kantorovich form, i.e. given two Radon measures on two compact sets, we seek an optimal transport plan which is another Radon measure on the product of the sets that…
The Monge-Kantorovich transportation problem involves optimizing with respect to a given a cost function. Uniqueness is a fundamental open question about which little is known when the cost function is smooth and the landscapes containing…
We study the Kantorovich-Rubinstein transhipment problem when the difference between the source and the target is not anymore a balanced measure but belongs to a suitable subspace $X(\Omega)$ of first order distribution. A particular…
The classical duality theory of Kantorovich and Kellerer for the classical optimal transport is generalized to an abstract framework and a characterization of the dual elements is provided. This abstract generalization is set in a Banach…
