Optimal transport: theory and applications

seminar: On the sufficiency of c-cyclical monotonicity for the optimality of transport plans

speaker: Aldo Pratelli (Università di Pisa)

abstract: The role of the cyclical monotonicity in the study of transport problems is widely known, and it is also well known that this monotonicity is necessary for a transport plan to be optimal, as well as that the sufficiency also holds in many situations. We will discuss the sufficiency issue for general cost functions, giving some results and counterexamples.
