We show Bernstein type results for the entire self-shrinking solutions to Lagrangian mean curvature flow in $(\mathbb{R}^n\times\mathbb{R}^n, g_\tau)$. The proofs rely on a priori estimates and barriers construction.
Optimal maps, solutions to the optimal transportation problems, are completely determined by the corresponding c-convex potential functions. In this paper, we give simple sufficient conditions for a smooth function to be c-convex when the…
