The duality theory of the Monge--Kantorovich transport problem is analyzed in a general setting. The spaces $X, Y$ are assumed to be polish and equipped with Borel probability measures $\mu$ and $\nu$. The transport cost function $c:X\times…
The theory of weak optimal transport (WOT), introduced by [Gozlan et al., 2017], generalizes the classic Monge-Kantorovich framework by allowing the transport cost between one point and the points it is matched with to be nonlinear. In the…
We investigate Lagrangian duality for nonconvex optimization problems. To this aim we use the $\Phi$-convexity theory and minimax theorem for $\Phi$-convex functions. We provide conditions for zero duality gap and strong duality. Among the…
We consider the modified Monge-Kantorovich problem with additional restriction: admissible transport plans must vanish on some fixed functional subspace. Different choice of the subspace leads to different additional properties optimal…
We extend weak KAM theory to Lagrangians that are defined only on the horizontal distribution of a sub-Riemannian manifold. The main tool is Tonelli's theorem which allows dispending on a Lagrangian dynamics.
In this paper, we study infinite-dimensional Lagrangian systems where the potential functions are periodic, rearrangement invariant and weakly upper semicontinuous. And we prove that there exists a calibrated curve for every $M\in…

We introduce and study the class of linear transfers between probability distributions and the dual class of Kantorovich operators between function spaces. Linear transfers can be seen as an extension of convex lower semi-continuous…
We study a multi-marginal optimal transportation problem. Under certain conditions on the cost function and the first marginal, we prove that the solution to the relaxed, Kantorovich version of the problem induces a solution to the Monge…
For two commuting Tonelli Hamiltonians, we recover the commutation of the Lax-Oleinik semi-groups, a result of Barles and Tourin ([BT01]), using a direct geometrical method (Stoke's theorem). We also obtain a "generalization" of a theorem…
In this work we prove the existence of Fathi's weak KAM solutions for periodic Lagrangians and give a construction of all of them.
In this paper, we explain some facts on the discrete case of weak KAM theory. In that setting, the Lagrangian is replaced by a cost $c:X\times X \to \mathbb{R}$, on a "reasonable" space $X$. This covers for example the case of periodic…
We present a general method, based on conjugate duality, for solving a convex minimization problem without assuming unnecessary topological restrictions on the constraint set. It leads to dual equalities and characterizations of the…
