The Monge problem with vanishing gradient penalization: Vortices and asymptotic profile

چکیده
We investigate the approximation of the Monge problem (minimizing ∫ Ω |T (x)− x|dμ(x) among the vector-valued maps T with prescribed image measure T#μ) by adding a vanishing Dirichlet energy, namely ε ∫ Ω |DT |. We study the Γ-convergence as ε → 0, proving a density result for Sobolev (or Lipschitz) transport maps in the class of transport plans. In a certain two-dimensional framework that we analyze in details, when no optimal plan is induced by an H map, we study the selected limit map, which is a new “special” Monge transport, possibly different from the monotone one, and we find the precise asymptotics of the optimal cost depending on ε, where the leading term is of order ε| log ε|.

Decay estimates of solutions to the IBq equation
In this paper we focus on the Cauchy problem for the generalized IBq equation with damped term in $n$-dimensional space. We establish the global existence and decay estimates of solution with $L^q(1leq qleq 2)$ initial value, provided that the initial value is suitably small. Moreover, we also show that the solution is asymptotic to the solution $u_L$ to the corresponding linear equa...
متن کاملA class of asymptotic-preserving schemes for the Fokker-Planck-Landau equation
We present a class of asymptotic-preserving (AP) schemes for the nonhomogeneous Fokker–Planck–Landau (nFPL) equation. Filbet and Jin [16] designed a class of AP schemes for the classical Boltzmann equation, by penalization with the BGK operator, so they become efficient in the fluid dynamic regime. We generalize their idea to the nFPL equation, with a different penalization operator, the Fokker...
متن کاملA Gradient Descent Solution to the Monge-Kantorovich Problem
We present a new, simple, and elegant algorithm for computing the optimal mapping for the Monge-Kantorovich problem with quadratic cost. The method arises from a reformulation of the dual problem into an unconstrained minimization of a convex, continuous functional, for which the derivative can be explicitly found. The Monge-Kantorovich problem has applications in many fields; examples from ima...
متن کاملCoupling the Gradient Method with a General Exterior Penalization Scheme for Convex Minimization
In this paper we propose and analyze an algorithm that couples the gradient method with a general exterior penalization scheme for constrained or hierarchical minimization of convex functions in Hilbert spaces. We prove that a proper but simple choice of the step sizes and penalization parameters guarantee the convergence of the algorithm to solutions for the optimization problem. We also estab...
متن کاملDiffusion and the formation of vorticity staircases in randomly strained two-dimensional vortices
The spreading and diffusion of two-dimensional vortices subject to weak external random strain fields is examined. The response to such a field of given angular frequency depends on the profile of the vortex and can be calculated numerically. An effective diffusivity can be determined as a function of radius and may be used to evolve the profile over a long time scale, using a diffusion equatio...
