Optimal networks for mass transportation problems

Alessio Brancolini, Giuseppe Buttazzo (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

In the framework of transport theory, we are interested in the following optimization problem: given the distributions µ of working people and µ of their working places in an urban area, build a transportation network (such as a railway or an underground system) which minimizes a functional depending on the geometry of the network through a particular cost function. The functional is defined as the Wasserstein distance of µ from µ with respect to a metric which depends on the transportation...

Optimal Multiphase Transportation with prescribed momentum

Yann Brenier, Marjolaine Puel (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

A multiphase generalization of the Monge–Kantorovich optimal transportation problem is addressed. Existence of optimal solutions is established. The optimality equations are related to classical Electrodynamics.

On the hessian of the optimal transport potential

Stefán Ingi Valdimarsson (2007)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

Similarity:

We study the optimal solution of the Monge-Kantorovich mass transport problem between measures whose density functions are convolution with a gaussian measure and a log-concave perturbation of a different gaussian measure. Under certain conditions we prove bounds for the Hessian of the optimal transport potential. This extends and generalises a result of Caffarelli. We also show how this result fits into the scheme of Barthe to prove Brascamp-Lieb inequalities and thus prove a new generalised...

Characterization of optimal shapes and masses through Monge-Kantorovich equation

Guy Bouchitté, Giuseppe Buttazzo (2001)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We study some problems of optimal distribution of masses, and we show that they can be characterized by a suitable Monge-Kantorovich equation. In the case of scalar state functions, we show the equivalence with a mass transport problem, emphasizing its geometrical approach through geodesics. The case of elasticity, where the state function is vector valued, is also considered. In both cases some examples are presented.
