Interpolating between measures supported by polygonal or polyhedral domains is a problem that has been recently addressed by the semi-discrete optimal transport framework. Within this framework, one of the domains is discretized with a set…

In this note, we extend the regularity theory for monotone measure-preserving maps, also known as optimal transports for the quadratic cost optimal transport problem, to the case when the support of the target measure is an arbitrary convex…
