An introduction to optimal transport (Basic Notions Seminar)
ICTP
Leonardo Building - Budinich Lecture Hall
Abstract:
We shall discuss the basics of the optimal transport problem and of its dual formulation. The concepts of c-concavity and c-superdifferential will also be introduced and at the end of the talk we will sketch the proof of the celebrated theorem of Brenier about optimal transport maps in the Euclidean space for cost = distance-squared.
