Recent trends in optimal control and partial differential equations

Regularity of unbalanced optimal transport

speaker: Roberta Ghezzi (Università di Roma Tor Vergata)

abstract: Recently, optimal transport has been extended to measures of positive and finite mass (on the Euclidean space or on a Riemannian manifold) CSPV16, CPSV18, KMV16, LMS18, giving rise to the so-called unbalanced optimal transport. On the set of positive Radon measures on a metric space, the Wasserstein- Fisher-Rao distance is a natural generalization of the classical Wasserstein distance and admits different equivalent formulations (dynamical, semi-coupling, dual, Kantorovich formulations). In a joint work with F.-X. Vialard and T. Gallou ̈et we show how to reduce regularity of unbalanced optimal transport to regularity of a standard optimal transport problem and we prove that unbalanced optimal transport is regular on spheres by computing the Ma-Trudinger-Wang tensor.
