Abstract

The seminar aims at introducing basic notions and results on optimal transport theory. Starting in a discrete framework, we will present Monge and Kantorovich formulations of the transportation problem through various examples and further introduce the (Kantorovich-Rubinstein)-Wasserstein distance. A probabilistic interpretation of the problems and a duality result will also be discussed. The seminar is preliminary to the one given by prof. F. Bassetti.
