We discuss the Monge problem of mass transportation in the framework of stochastic thermodynamics and revisit the problem of the Landauer limit for finite-time thermodynamics, a problem that got the interest of Krzysztof Gawedzki in the…
In this paper, we study optimal transportation problems for multifractal random measures. Since these measures are much less regular than optimal transportation theory requires, we introduce a new notion of transportation which is…
Monge-Kantorovich optimal mass transport (OMT) provides a blueprint for geometries in the space of positive densities -- it quantifies the cost of transporting a mass distribution into another. In particular, it provides natural options for…
We consider the numerical solution of the optimal transport problem between densities that are supported on sets of unequal dimension. Recent work by McCann and Pass reformulates this problem into a non-local Monge-Amp\`ere type equation.…
We consider an optimal transport problem between laws of random probability measures: given a base cost function, we build the associated OT cost between probability measures that in turn we use to define the OT cost between probability…
We establish the validity of asymptotic limits for the general transportation problem between random i.i.d. points and their common distribution, with respect to the squared Euclidean distance cost, in any dimension larger than three.…
We establish numerical methods for solving the martingale optimal transport problem (MOT) - a version of the classical optimal transport with an additional martingale constraint on transport's dynamics. We prove that the MOT value can be…
We propose a generalized curvature that is motivated by the optimal transport problem on $\mathbb{R}^d$ with cost induced by a Tonelli Lagrangian $L$. We show that non-negativity of the generalized curvature implies displacement convexity…

In the field of optimal transport, two prominent subfields face each other: (i) unregularized optimal transport, "\`a-la-Kantorovich", which leads to extremely sparse plans but with algorithms that scale poorly, and (ii)…
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 rephrase Monge's optimal transportation (OT) problem with quadratic cost--via a Monge-Amp\`ere equation--as an infinite-dimensional optimization problem, which is in fact a convex problem when the target is a log-concave measure with…
We study a multi-marginal optimal transportation problem on a Riemannian manifold, with cost function given by the average distance squared from multiple points to their barycenter. Under a standard regularity condition on the first…
We consider the multidimensional Monge-Kantrovich transport problem in an abstract setting. Our main results state that if a cost function and marginal measures are invariant by a family of transformations, then a solution of the Kantrovich…
We propose a numerical method for solving the multi-marginal Monge problem, which extends the classical Monge formulation to settings involving multiple target distributions. Our approach is based on the Hilbert space embedding of…
In the first part of the paper we briefly decribe the classical problem, raised by Monge in 1781, of optimal transportation of mass. We discuss also Kantorovich's weak solution of the problem, which leads to general existence results, to a…
We study an optimal transport problem where, at some intermediate time, the mass is accelerated by either an external force field, or self-interacting. We obtain regularity of the velocity potential, intermediate density, and optimal…
