A measure theoretical approach is presented to study the Monge-Kantorovich optimal mass transport problem. This approach together with Kantorovich duality provide an effective tool to answer a long standing question about the support of…
Over the past five years, multi-marginal optimal transport, a generalization of the well known optimal transport problem of Monge and Kantorovich, has begun to attract considerable attention, due in part to a wide variety of emerging…
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…
This paper focuses on martingale optimal transport problems when the martingales are assumed to have bounded quadratic variation. First, we give a result that characterizes the existence of a probability measure satisfying some convex…
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 consider symmetric multi-marginal Kantorovich optimal transport problems on finite state spaces with uniform-marginal constraint. These problems consist of minimizing a linear objective function over a high-dimensional polytope, here…
We introduce and study a multi-marginal optimal partial transport problem. Under a natural and sharp condition on the dominating marginals, we establish uniqueness of the optimal plan. Our strategy of proof establishes and exploits a…
This note exposes the differential topology and geometry underlying some of the basic phenomena of optimal transportation. It surveys basic questions concerning Monge maps and Kantorovich measures: existence and regularity of the former,…
We study solutions to the multi-marginal Monge-Kantorovich problem which are concentrated on several graphs over the first marginal. We first present two general conditions on the cost function which ensure, respectively, that any solution…
This note establishes that a generalization of $c$-cyclical monotonicity from the Monge-Kantorovich problem with two marginals gives rise to a sufficient condition for optimality also in the multi-marginal version of that problem. To obtain…
We study Kantorovich type optimal transportation problems with nonlinear cost functions, including dependence on conditional measures of transport plans. A range of nonlinear Kantorovich problems for cost functions of a special form is…
We study a multi-marginal optimal transportation problem with a cost function of the form $c(x_{1}, \ldots,x_{m})=\sum_{k=1}^{m-1}|x_{k}-x_{k+1}|^{2} + |x_{m}- F(x_{1})|^{2}$, where $F: \mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^n$. When $m=4$,…
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…
The Monge-Kantorovich problem is revisited by means of a variant of the saddle-point method without appealing to $c$-conjugates. A new abstract characterization of the optimal plans is obtained in the case where the cost function takes…
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…
The aim of the present paper is to extend Kantorovich's mass transport problem to the framework of upper/lower continuous capacities and to prove the cyclic monotonicity of the supports of optimal supermodular plans. As in the probabilistic…
We revisit the duality theorem for multimarginal optimal transportation problems. In particular, we focus on the Coulomb cost. We use a discrete approximation to prove equality of the extremal values and some careful estimates of the…
We consider an extension of the Monge-Kantorovitch optimal transportation problem. The mass is transported along a continuous semimartingale, and the cost of transportation depends on the drift and the diffusion coefficients of the…
The Monge-Kantorovich transportation problem involves optimizing with respect to a given a cost function. Uniqueness is a fundamental open question about which little is known when the cost function is smooth and the landscapes containing…
A remarkable connection between optimal design and Monge transport was initiated in the years 1997 in the context of the minimal elastic compliance problem and where the euclidean metric cost was naturally involved. In this paper we present…
