The Monge-kantorovich Problem for Distributions and Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the Kantorovich-Rubinstein transhipment problem when the difference between the source and the target is not anymore a balanced measure but belongs to a suitable subspace X(Ω) of first order distribution. A particular subclass X♯0(Ω) of such distributions will be considered which includes the infinite sums of dipoles ∑ k(δpk − δnk) studied in [28, 29]. In spite of this weakened regularity, it is shown that an optimal transport density still exists among nonnegative finite measures. Some geometric properties of the Banach spaces X(Ω) and X♯0(Ω) can be then deduced.

5 Kantorovich Metric : Initial History and Little - Known Applications
We remind of the history of the transportation (Kantorovich) metric and the Monge–Kantorovich problem. We also describe several little-known applications: the first one concerns the theory of decreasing sequences of partitions (tower of measures and iterated metric), the second one relates to Ornstein's theory of Bernoulli automorphisms (¯ d-metric), and the third one is the formulation of the ...

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 کاملRemarks on Γ-Convergence and the Monge-Kantorovich Mass Transfer Problem
By looking at the Γ-convergence of some easy functionals in terms of underlying Young measures, we emphasize the connection of this issue with the Monge-Kantorovich mass transfer problem. After exploring this relationship, we study a typical example in periodic homogenization to realize the difference between the Monge-Kantorovich problem and the usual cell-problem. We also state a version of t...
