Regularity theory for Optimal Transportation
- Felix Otto
Abstract
The plan is to start the by now classical regularity theory for the Monge-Ampere equation, and optimal transportation, by L. Caffarelli from the 90s, and then to treat the partial regularity theory by Figalli and Kim, in order to come to a recent completely variational theory. If time permits, we also address the case of a general cost function.
