In the classical Monge-Kantorovich problem, the transportation cost only depends on the amount of mass sent from sources to destinations and not on the paths followed by this mass. Thus, it does not allow for congestion effects. Using the…
We consider the simultaneous optimal transportation of measures, where the target marginal is not necessarily fixed. For this problem, we prove the existence of a solution for completely regular spaces and investigate the structure of the…
We show that the only even, smooth, convex solutions to a class of isotropic mixed Christoffel-Minkowski type problems are origin-centred spheres, which, in particular, answers a question of Firey 74 in the even isotropic case about…
We address the Monge problem in metric spaces with a geodesic distance: (X, d) is a Polish space and dN is a geodesic Borel distance which makes (X,dN) a possibly branching geodesic space. We show that under some assumptions on the…
In this paper, we introduce the notions of proximally completeness, proximally closedness and proximally continuity and utilize the same to prove a result on existence and uniqueness of best proximity points in the setting of metric space…
We show that the Hellinger-Kantorovich distance can be expressed as the metric infimal convolution of the Hellinger and the Wasserstein distances, as conjectured by Liero, Mielke, and Savar\'e. To prove it, we study with the tools of…
In this paper we introduce the functional framework and the necessary conditions for the well-posedness of an inverse problem arising in the mathematical modeling of disease transmission. The direct problem is given by an initial boundary…
We study the problem of minimizing the functional $$ I(\varphi)=\int\limits_{\Omega} W(x,D\varphi)\,dx $$ on a new class of mappings. We relax summability conditions for admissible deformations to $\varphi\in W^1_n(\Omega)$ and growth…
We study the small-regularisation limit of the entropic optimal transport problem on the line with distance cost. While convergence of entropic minimizers is well understood in the discrete setting and in the case where the cost is…
A power series being given as the solution of a linear differential equation with appropriate initial conditions, minimization consists in finding a non-trivial linear differential equation of minimal order having this power series as a…
In this paper, we show the existence and non-existence of minimizers of the following minimization problems which include an open problem mentioned by Horiuchi and Kumlin in 2012: \begin{align*} G_a := \inf_{u \in W_0^{1,N}(\Omega )…
The use of distances based on optimal transportation has recently shown promise for discrimination of power spectra. In particular, spectral estimation methods based on l1 regularization as well as covariance based methods can be shown to…
In this note, we prove a uniqueness result, up to a positive multiplicative constant, for nontrivial convex solutions to a system of Monge-Amp\`ere equations \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{alignedat}{2} \det D^2 u~& = \gamma…
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…
Extremal problems are studied involving an objective function with values in (order) complete lattices of sets generated by so called set relations. Contrary to the popular paradigm in vector optimization, the solution concept for such…
We investigate the properties of convex functions in the plane that satisfy a local inequality which generalizes the notion of sub-solution of Monge-Ampere equation for a Monge-Kantorovich problem with quadratic cost between non-absolutely…
For n>1 and -1<p<1, we prove that if q is close to n and the qth Lp dual curvature is Holder close to be the constant one function, then this "near isotropic" qth Lp dual Minkowski problem on the (n-1)-dimensional sphere has a unique…
We obtain conditions guaranteeing that weak solutions of the differential inequality $$ \sum_{|\alpha| = m} \partial^\alpha a_\alpha (x, u) \ge f (x) g (|u|) \quad \mbox{in } \Omega \setminus S, $$ has a removable singular set $S \subset…
We prove the existence of minimizers for some constrained variational problems on $BV(\Omega)$, under subcritical and critical restrictions, involving the affine energy introduced by Zhang in \cite{Z}. Related functionals have non-coercive…
We provide a number of sufficient conditions for that minimizers of the one-dimensional Rudin-Osher-Fatemi functional satisfy the Dirichlet data in the trace sense. For this purpose we use results specific for the total variation flow. We…
