Rectifiability of Optimal Transportation Plans

Analysis of PDEs 2019-08-15 v1

Abstract

The purpose of this note is to show that the solution to the Kantorovich optimal transportation problem is supported on a Lipschitz manifold, provided the cost is C2C^{2} with non-singular mixed second derivative. We use this result to provide a simple proof that solutions to Monge's optimal transportation problem satisfy a change of variables equation almost everywhere.
